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. The problem is that in lieu of having anything well-written (apart from Andor), they're rolling out the diversity card thinking they'll get kudos for being "progressive" OR they're adding this in knowing it'll cause a nontroversy and then using that to defend the poorly written crap because obviously it's just toxic fandom that doesn't appreciate their "vision". 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.
