It’s absolutely lazy and ties into my last post about how I think Disney has not really committed fully to diversity. Which makes it funnier to me when people complain about the SJW agenda of Lucasfilm. Literally look at most of their casting and creative assignments and then it becomes apparent that they like to just barely add in some diversity, while not getting too crazy.
I think final judgements are premature. Let’s look at how the film handles it first. (if anyone knows already from reading spoilery things online from those who’ve seen it, let’s not go there).
There is potentially an argument to be made that this is an area where Disney is doing some push back. At this point we’ve heard SW writers, directors, and actors all express interest in non straight characters. So far nothing in the films.
