  • Aliens that look remarkably like modern day humans, yah dink (directed at Lucas). While I do think SW was largely progressive for it’s time, the prejudices are readily apparent now. There are somewhat powerful women, but still so often acquiescent story-wise to the male characters who dictate the main plot points.

    And characters of color never happen to break into the main character position, do they? They can be badass motherfuckers, and they do get time to shine, but they too sit at the whims of the main characters.

    I get George has a different perspective being the age he is, but things change and progress. Star Wars is one of my favorite IPs, but we can acknowledge good things in the past weren’t perfect. It’s how we know we’re improving.
