Kiss of two women removed from Star Wars 9 in Singapore
The Singaporean authorities were not as loyal to the portrayal of same-sex love in the movie "Star Wars 9: Skywalker. Rise", as their Chinese counterparts. According to Deadline, the scandalous scene depicting the romantic kiss of the two heroines was cut from the rental version. According to local officials, the removal of this episode helped to preserve the "childish" rating. Note that in Singapore, sexual relations with a representative of the same gender are considered illegal, the state also does not recognize same-sex marriage. Recall also that the director of the ninth episode, JJ Abrams, announced this scene in advance. He claimed in an interview that he considers it extremely important for the entire LGBT community, as evidence for the existence of same-sex love in a galaxy far, far away has never been cited before. Star Wars 9 premiered on December 19, 2019. Fees in North America and beyond were significantly less than expected. In China, the picture had earned only $ 12 million by the end of the premiere weekend, failing to take part in the competition for leadership in the national box office.
