Sammy you seem to be really invested in defending injection of Letter People bullshite in to Star Wars. Why is that?
I mean, I know clones made from the same genetic material of a male warrior will somehow produce a....female. Because reasons.

I’d bet my last dollar you have zero idea what Marxist means. I’d bet my second to last you don’t have a degree.

You're 0-2.
Keep going.
*ETA - You need to realize that there's more to the world than what you see from CNN or MSNBC. Not everything that's important gets mentioned by NPR. The core of Identity politics is in fact the intent to divide people up into groups to fight against or with each other for a common cause. Once you reduce a person to a check box, that's well on the way to having them give up their own personal identity, and see themselves as a part of a collective.
You catching on yet?

As much as you throw the word groomer around you seem to be a big fan of identity politics.
I think all politics are pretty stupid and have no time for them. No vote I've ever made has ever changed shite, so why waste energy focusing on them? I focus on the things I can control, what movies/shows Hollywood puts out isn't one of them. I just watch to have something to do before bed when there aren't sports on.

You are an idiot. Politics has ramifications for every aspect of your life.
You are a proven clown and as this post demonstrates, a fricking liar.

So does the sun, doesn't mean you have any control over them.
If you wanna run for politics or canvas or whatever be my guest, noone is stopping you.
Bitching about it on the movie board aint changing shite.
You're like a politician ranting about climate change while flying a private jet around. If you actually believed/cared about this stuff you would do something about it in Hollywood or work in politics instead of just posting on the movie board.
Nothing worse than being preached to by someone who isn't doing anything about what they are preaching.

Your ability to arrive at the exact opposite conclusion of what I was saying is fascinating.

that trans people want to be accepted?
I think that’s the loud part.
Just to be clear - Star Wars is a tool to create acceptance in culture?
It's not a story, or a universe or a narrative. It's not built for fun, or interesting reasons. It's not something to create a completely different world of adventure that people can experience in a variety of ways.
Star Wars exists to change opinions, to make sure we subvert other forms of teaching, to change the way kids think.
That is the purpose of Star Wars, or really all of art? To change cultural opinions subversively?

eh idk. I see it more as barometer of what society is thinking than a tool that’s changing is.
A temperature readying of the pot vs the spoon stirring it.

I think it’s all those things, which is why u don’t understand why you’re upset about the trans character.

I don’t think SW is going to change anyone’s opinions. the only thing i’ve seen genuinely change people’s opinions is interaction with others humans.

So do we have to go and reimagine The Iliad and make sure that we update its "cultural barometerr" to better reflect our times?
Must all art continuously be updated to make sure it aligns with the current perspective?

Inserting political acceptance ideals into a text will automatically move it away from being something created to live and breathe on its own.
Political Art is not really art in the classic sense. It's propaganda.

But you said it should? It should create acceptance, and specifically that it's ok to change the way kids think.

They didn’t change and reimagine star wars.

I generally don’t think we should change art. But we’re talking about an active franchise. It’s not static, and it’s not like SW ever made a point that trans people don’t exist in their world.

I think you’re going to have to elaborate on that.

I don’t believe that’s true at all. Is Guernica not art? Are all those big marble statues of roman emperors not art? Are all those anti-war songs not art?

did I?
