No, I just don’t want the show to become an exploration of LGBT problems that are front and centre in our own universe at the moment and, whether you like it or not, are quite divisive. I’d rather it be focused on the High Republic as such. There are other types of shows that can do more justice to LGBT issues. I also don’t want Star Wars to explore climate change, or pandemics, or abortion, or immigration, or populist politics, or the issues of capitalism and socialism. These things can be in the background, but I don’t want Star Wars to be about them, so long as they remain controversial/hot topics. I want to be immersed in another universe when I watch Star Wars, not constantly brought back to real-world issues, regardless of the actual stance the show takes.
