But none of that was in any Star Wars movie!

Yes. It is. Rian Johnson talked about the message of identity, as well as Kathleen Kennedy. Here's one found after a minute of looking, "“But we have 50% of our executive team are women. And six out of eight of the people in my story group are women. And I’m sure there’s a lot of people that would be surprised that we’re making Star Wars movies and the majority of the people involved in the development of those stories are women.” Also going on to say that she wanted to make star wars for boys and girls, which isn't inherently wrong, but no one is trying to make Cinderella that way. Pushing the identity over the product is woke. They did do it in the last 3 films. You just can't acknowledge it.

She has even admitted to taking the fun out of star wars, and is making changes moving forward, which should be a good thing. The average person in this country doesn't whether or not there's a female lead. We want to see ourselves in stories. This is why "woke" people like it and the rest of us do not. The less you see yourself that way, the more noticeable it is.

That's Kathleen Kennedy.
