can you believe that they made the leads of the new star war trilogy a woman and a black man and people decided to think that it was all about the white villain instead? like the first character they introduced to us was a black stormtrooper as the lead, two thing we’d never seen before. a heavily hinted to be force-sensitive, brainwashed from childhood, desperately scared of his captors but still follows his morals escaped black stormtrooper lead. then we meet a female desert scavenger, also two things we’ve never seen before. an ace pilot, force-sensitive, orphaned and self-sufficient, holding on to a family who left her, aggressive female scavenger lead. and instead people decided to focus on the white ~troubled~ villain who killed his father who was trying to save him because -404 reason not found-????? and the worst part is people don’t think that’s it’s racist and sexist or even weird at all. instead they’ve decided that this white boy is the point of the trilogy. can you believe??
Let’s not forget the Latinx pilot bc in this political climate? That’s huge. Poe is given the rugged pilot archetype filled by Han in the original trilogy, but with a much more obvious sense of passion, mortality, and love for the rebellion and his fellow rebels. His willingness to put himself in danger for his cause is a passion that has not explicitly been displayed in Star Wars, he is a rich character who makes mistakes but tries so had to do what’s right, and some of y'all STILL think Star Wars is about the local pissbaby who had a bad time once
