Outgoing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) -- a member of the far-left "Squad" -- is demanding that the next "Star Wars" movie features a black Jedi lead character, saying he will refuse to watch and will even denounce the movie franchise if his demand isn't met.

Bowman dismissed online comments bringing up the Mace Windu character (Samuel L. Jackson) from the prequel movies. “Nah man. Lead. Protagonist. Story build around them. That’s it,” he wrote.
Bowman’s demand has prompted much social media ridicule.
“You gonna pull a fire alarm if they don’t obey your retarded demands?” one commenter noted, referring to the fact that Bowman was criminally charged with a misdemeanor for pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building, allegedly to
prevent a vote on the House floor.
Bowman is set to relinquish his Congressional seat in January to fellow Democrat George Latimer. His one term in Congress was marked by controversies, including his denial that Hamas raped women during the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.
He also ridiculed a House member for hosting Jewish leaders, drawing accusations of antisemitism.
It remains unclear what prompted him to go off on
Star Wars.
