My attitude to wokeness is that if they want to complain then I don't need to agree. One might think that wokeness is to do X another one might think that it is to do B. This seems to be a complaint from those that want to keep as much as possible as it was before (to promote the own power-agendas/egos). I googled wokeism and the best definition that I found was (in a negative way) those that promote liberal agendas. If you are a conservative or something close to that then I understand why you might dislike Star Wars 7-9, since Star Wars always have had that liberal political leaning (although the originals dealt with it in a better way). My problem was that the new characters weren't that interesting. Unfortunately the sequels to Star Wars 7 were meh, and it was not because of what someone might call wokeism, at least it wasn't my problem. They way that she was able to do things by a click of her fingers was just bizarre. I easily prefer Sarah Connor and Ripley over Rey, so we are in agreement there. Xenotaris: “Like I said having a female main character doesn't make it woke.” Ya, it depends on how the character is written. Thoughts_Dreams Respected Member 1688 XP Apr-18-2023 3:37 AM STAR WARS isn't about pushing present day Earth's social norms, that was supposed to be STAR TREK's job (and Star Trek did it better). STAR WARS is supposed to be about the battle between GOOD vs EVIL. If these characters were males, you would call it chauvinism. That is literally a reverse Get in the Kitchen mentality. I haven't seen the rest of the woke Star Wars past Force Awakens but I heard they had a heavy handed approached to promote woke feminism like having some powerful female characters telling the males sit back and let the women due the job properly. The scene were she "fixed" the Millennium Falcon felt like it came straight out of an old Star Trek fanfiction were the term Mary Sue originated from. Reason I believe this was, she didn't have any force powers until Kylo Ren used his mind probe force ability. Rey had the novel ability of copy and pasting force training from Kylo Ren's mind. Rey is a woke female protagonist due to given special narrative privileges that her predecessors (Luke and Anakin) didn't have. If you rewrite them as male characters they would be the same character. Who they are as characters are not defined by their gender. Sarah Conner and Ellen Ripley are prime examples of non-woke female protagonists. Like I said having a female main character doesn't make it woke. Look I have nothing against Daisy Ridley, its not her fault that JJ Abrams and Disney made her character a Mary Sue (a miss perfect). As new details emerge we'll keep you posted! In the meantime, let us know what you think of the new direction Lucasfilm are taking Star Wars by sounding off in the comments below!
