I do appreciate what Gilroy has to say about it:
Ultimately, the only reason it would ever feel “edgy” is because it’s Star Wars, but being blunt about it is more tasteful, mature, and sensitizing than acting like you snuck in something ~naughty~ into a typically kids-friendly property. I respect it. Star Wars’ history with SA in that regard is far grosser than how it’s used here as a terrifying truth about Empire and what it can empower.
