I don’t think the problem is the politization or “wokeness” of Star Wars, we’ve seen politics injected into Star Wars for awhile, it’s just this constant badly written drivel that they keep shoveling out.

Adding diversity and being inclusive in our media is fine, we should be able to see other perspectives, but trash is still trash no matter how much diversity you add to it.

That’s sort of how “wokeness” works though. The important part is the who, the what is totally irrelevant.
