I guess characters like Mace Windu, Jolee Bindu, Lando Calrissian, & Stass Allie don't exist....Obviously Amanda Stenberg is a tourist and never consumed any Star Wars media. She is just a fake fan virtue signaling."

The Acolyte, coming to Disney+ in 2024, is the most inclusive and diverse live-action Star Wars project ever, and the show's lead Amandla Stenberg has said "You see the progress that Star Wars is making across the board in all of the streaming series.""
If you need to see yourself portrayed onscreen in a fictional universe to feel "safe"...  you might just be suffering from fragility

Why Star Wars Fans Didn't Like Ahsoka Tano At First (& What Changed) - "At the time of her introduction in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker's padawan Ahsoka Tano was very much disliked by the general fanbase before becoming one of the most popular characters. Seen as young, naive, and generally annoying, Ahsoka began her Jedi training being viewed as the next Jar Jar Binks in terms of how obnoxious she was in her earliest depiction. However, something changed as the animated series went on, which lead to fans actually becoming upset with her series departure when she left the Jedi Order at the end of the fifth season... Ahsoka's often bratty nature and ignorance was generally seen as off-putting by the large majority of fans. Likewise, the subsequent airing of the series would see many viewers bemoaning episodes that featured her and her generally naive and annoying personality, creating a distraction to the greater narrative being told. However, something changed for Ahsoka by The Clone Wars' third season: Ahsoka started growing up. She began to learn from her failures, and she gained more maturity and experience with the addition of more complex narrative arcs"
Proof that fans hate new things/are misogynists, rather than them not liking a character who was annoying

John Boyega Says 'Last Jedi' Is His Worst 'Star Wars' Movie
What a racist, sexist, toxic person

Meme - "Star Wars characters: "Let me go! Let me die!"
*Bacta tanks, Force healing, pure hatred, Night Sister black magic fuckery, cybernetics, time travel, "abilities some consider to be unnatural', "somehow', and whatever Shak Ti is doing"

Meme - Me: "Lol
Hello there"
BESTIE: "Heyyyy Obi wan"

Meme - "Season 1: Ahsoka duelling Grievous VS Season 5: Ansoka duelling Grievous Grievous
Arrogantly thinks she can take him alone vs Only fights because she feels she has to
Quickly gets overpowered vs Is able to hold her ground
Runs away to save herself vs Retreats as soon as others are safe
delicious. Finally, some good fucking character development"

Meme - "You fought in the Clone Wars?"
"Luke, I didn't just fight in the Clone Wars, I fucking started the Clone Wars. Your mom was nearly murdered by worms so I went up the chain of command until I was captured by Christopher Lee and these bugs that make clicking sounds. Your parents came to rescue me but fucked that up too, then a bunch of dudes identical to a man that was just beheaded showed up. Shit was wild kid. I even got to lay pipe with Mandalorians, try out bounty hunting, and have sexually tense encounters with a bald lady every other week. All because of your mom."

Meme - Morgan Elsbeth: "Thrawn calls to me. Across time and space."
The guy actually calling out to her:
Ezra Bridger: "THIS IS GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN AND I DEMAND YOU COME AND RETRIEVE ME"

Meme - "Brave Disabled War Veteran single handily takes on a group of armed terrorist thieves *Rogue One Hallway Scene*"

Meme - "R2-D2 ain't a snitch. He knew Anakin was Vader, pretended not to know who Yoda and Obi Wan were, and shut himself down when Luke didn't want to be found. No wonder he was trusted with the Death Star plans. is the ultimate ride or die droid."

Meme - "Villains of the Prequel Trilogy *Darth Maul, Palpatine, Count Dooku

Critical Drinker Tears Apart Sabine Wren Surviving Impalement In 'Ahsoka,' Explains The True Destructive Power Of A Lightsaber - "Popular film and TV critic as well as a novelist in his own right, The Critical Drinker aka Will Jordan, recently tore apart how the recent installment of Ahsoka depicts wounds suffered from a lightsaber, and explains how the weapon used to be a potent weapon of destruction... “Nowadays, though, major injuries like this are treated more like minor inconveniences that characters can walk off like Reva, who got impaled not once, but twice by a lightsaber and survived with no long-term repercussions.”  “Or Sabine from the recent episode of Ahsoka who had a blade stuck in her for a good five or six seconds and turned out to be just fine afterwards,” he added...   “It basically melts and vaporizes whatever it comes into contact with, which makes it ideal for slicing off limbs to disarm opponents with quick, efficient strokes,” he observes."

Meme - "DISNEY STAR WARS
*Fennec Shand* SHOT BY A BLASTER. NEEDS HALF HER ORGANS REPLACED
*Sabine Wren* STABBED BY A LIGHT SABER. JUST FINE AFTER LITTLE BED REST
*Lightsaber* AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"

Meme - "*Qui-Gon stabbed* *dies*
*The Grand Inquisitor stabbed* *survives*
*Han Solo stabbed* *dies*
*Agen Kolar stabbed* *dies*
*Sabine stabbed* *survives*
*Reva stabbed* "survives*
The writers starting another war in the star wars community: "This is fine.""
Apologists claim Sabine survived because she got immediate medical attention and Shin Hati wasn't trying to kill her, but Reva got stabbed by Darth Vader. Twice. The first time she definitely didn't get immediately medical attention (and as a youngling she would've been less able to withstand the damage due to a smaller body, and she wasn't on the Dark Side then so she wouldn't have been able to survive due to that). Both times Darth Vader was trying to kill her - and I'm sure the second time he would've been more determined since she had survived him once already

‘Ahsoka’ Episode 5 Recap - Chasing the Ghosts of Better Stories - "As exciting as it is to see Christensen return to his role as Anakin Skywalker, particularly in the iconic Clone Wars attire he never got to wear in the Prequel Trilogy, even he can’t salvage the episode. Rather than focusing on building the foundations of a great story for this audience, Filoni seems intent on looking backward at the excellent stories he previously told in The Clone Wars, hoping that the goodwill they established will be enough to carry Ahsoka to the finish line. The animated series worked because of the SkyGuy and Snips chemistry forged between Ashley Eckstein and Matt Lanter, which Christensen and Dawson just don’t have (although Christensen and Greenblatt almost matched the dynamic)."

Ahsoka Series Episode 5 Review: The Ghost Of Anakin Skywalker - "While it shows flashes of brilliance, and some of the most beautiful visuals I’ve seen in Star Wars, period, the latest episode of the Ahsoka TV series occasionally falls victim to the disease of Star Wars nostalgia, whereby characters and clothing and facial expressions and lightsaber twists are there just to be there, just so you can do the Captain America in The Avengers meme, just so you can understand that reference. It takes a second watch to really understand showrunner Dave Filoni’s intentions in so much of this episode, which shouldn’t be the case...  It feels like everyone in Star Wars is fighting over Anakin Skywalker’s charred body like the last chicken leg at the barbecue, each one hoping that a piece of this poor man will give them their own closure. Yet he’s left drifting in the wind of the World Between Worlds, forced to serve as a ferryman for all your meditation retreats."

Meme - "That boy is our last hope"
"No. There is another."
"Oh right, Ahsoka - forgot about her. In retrospect, maybe we should have brought her in on this?"

Meme - "When asked why there was only one set of footprints Jesus replied, "The Sand People ride single file to hide their numbers.""

Meme - Shin Hati in starfighter: "This is the Galactic Empire hotline, how may I help you?"

Meme - "It's over, Ahsokin! I have the high ground! Sorry, I always wanted to say that."

Meme - *Luke after Battle of Endor*
Padawan, Master and Old Kenobi: "Hello there"
"I'm so high on death sticks right now."

Meme - "Isn't he great? He's a new protocol droid to help, Mom

Meme - Ahsoka: "Sabine... Cast it into the fire!!! Destroy it!!!"
Sabine: "....No"

Meme - Ahsoka: "DID WE WIN THE CLONE WARS?"

Meme - "YOU'RE A JEDI KNIGHT, AREN'T YOU?"

"YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DON'T DON'T GET LAID MUCH"

Meme - Jacen Syndulla: "Mommy, why do you always wear goggles?"
Hera Syndulla: "I'm a pilot Jacen, you know that"
Jacen: "Sure Mom, but you fly a spaceship, not a WWI biplane."

Meme - "Mas Amedda: "With the Jedi dead what should we do with their temple?"
Palpatine: "I don't care. Rent it out or something."
*Spirit Halloween*"

🎃derpo377 (but spooky)🎃 on X - "remember when they made a Boba Fett show where Boba Fett wants to become a crime lord(?) who doesn’t do crime(?) and spends the whole season dealing with local politics(?) and befriending a moped gang of street toughs(?) all while flashing back to bonding with the sand people(?)"
Sean McCann on X - "Also it has an episode where Boba Fett isn’t even in it but instead we get a CGI Luke Skywalker."

Did Star Wars Producers Intentionally Degrade Luke Skywalker? - "Many were shocked to see this image of Luke’s face crossed out in red, hanging on a cubicle in the Lucasfilm offices.  Others felt that it was likely some internal office joke, and that it wasn’t to be taken seriously.      The owner of the cubicle, Justin Bolger, tweeted out that it was just a decorating style, Imperial Couture.  And that any concern over it amounted to nothing more than a conspiracy theory.  Co-host of That Star Wars Show, Anthony Carboni, joined in the laughter, mocking those who expressed concerns.     Then in August of 2019, the Disney insider WDW Pro who many now feel is the real deal, posted the following on the wdwmagic.com forums:     “Certain Lead individuals at Lucasfilm have a palpable disdain for Luke.”  Now why would that be?  Well, we all know how Lucasfilm associates feel about white males, and Luke certainly is a white male.  And given that Lucasfilm is currently infested with militant feminists, the fact that Luke is considered to be a patriarchal figure by some may also come into play.  And then you had the arguments about how great it was to democratize the force for everyone, and not restrict it to a family bloodline.  So there are probably ridiculous issues with what SJWs might refer to as “privilege” in the character.     Or maybe the character of Luke Skywalker was altered in an effort to blur the lines of presumed assumptions… Whatever the reason was, that “palpable disdain for Luke” would manifest in Lucasfilm’s media publications over and over again.  Most are familiar with the awful Disney Trilogy of movies which have now come and gone.  Luke Skywalker was barely in the movies, a fact that the cast mocked right in front of Mark Hamill.     But they had to use the character to some extent to rope in the old fan base into buying movie tickets.  George Lucas’s treatments for the Sequel Trilogy depicted a Luke Skywalker who had gone on sabbatical to seek enlightenment through meditation.  But we didn’t get sabbatical Luke.  We got vagrant Jake instead. Let’s examine the layers of nuanced meaning in The Last Jedi’s famous alien nipple milking sequence.  What deep messages was this display meant to convey to the audience?
A metaphor communicating that Luke is behaving like a big pouting manbaby.
An allegory depicting how the Disney Corporation is milking the franchise.
Luke is attempting to normalize public breastfeeding in Jedi Temples.
Kathleen Kennedy’s crack team of militant feminist writers are getting off on making a classic patriarchal hero from American culture suck on an alien teat.
The correct answer is D, and that’s supported by the words of Dave Filoni, who suggested shifting the focus from Luke to Leia as the Obi-Wan figure.  A shift from patriarchal, to matriarchal"

Meme - Gershom Reese Wetzel: ""Hanlon's razor states, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." But if you look at what Disney has done to Star Wars in the last 10 years you MUST attribute malice. They have effectively ruined everything cool about the franchise. Nothing remains untouched. They even resurrected parts of the EU they euthanized in order to parade them around in a merciless humiliation ritual." (I didn't write the above, but it's true.)"
