The Rise of Skywalker: Disney cuts Star Wars same-sex kiss in Singapore

24 December 2019

Disney has cut a brief scene of two women kissing in the Singaporean version of its latest Star Wars film.

The Rise of Skywalker features the first same-sex kiss in the franchise's history - described by reviewers as "a brief flash of two women kissing... among a crowd of characters".

But the version released in Singapore omits the scene.

Singapore's media regulatory body told the BBC that Disney cut the scene so it didn't get a higher age rating.

It is not clear if Disney - the owners of Lucasfilm, the Star Wars production company - cut the scene in other countries. It was reportedly shown in China but not in the UAE.

1. Ugh...

That "scene" is little more than a flash on the screen at the end of the movie. If you weren't paying attention, you'd miss it.

The kids was about 5 seconds I like the movie but two of my kids were more negative
