Seriously, I'd bet money anybody who criticizes something for being "woke" has no clue what it's actually about. "Durhur Star Wars shouldn't be political" MY BROTHER IN CHRIST HAVE YOU SEEN THE FUCKING PREQUEL FILMS?!

That too! Star Wars has been political since its VERY INCEPTION!

I don’t get it, you’re all just reading politics into the entirely apolitical situation of, um. *checks notes* a ragtag band of rebels fighting a resistance against an evil empire. There’s no politics there!

Especially when said Evil Empire abused the democratic process to allow autocracy and authoritarianism to take over and install a dictatorship. Nothing political there at all!

Not just a girl, also a BLACK GUY
