** Lots of jabs are targeted at Kathleen Kennedy and Disney; the Panderverse itself is a jab at a trend in movies replacing white male characters with diverse female characters. Special mention goes to ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny'', which leaves Cartman sending angry letters to Kathleen Kennedy, prompting her to use the Pander Stone in the first place. The City Wok equivalent being named "City Woke" drives the point home.
