Eh, idk about that. If anything you can argue its depiction in TLJ alone lands on being didactic against it. That stuff isn’t politics though, nor has that necessarily been a conversation re: woke in Star Wars

It’s depiction is used still, I think, to present Rey in a passive role that serves Kylo and Luke’s story. By making it that way, I still think it’s not against it. That the romance angle is there at all, I think suggests a random favoritism for the concept, that doesn’t take Rey’s character and emotions about everything she’s experienced by Kylo’s actions into account.

I was suggesting that runs counter to some of those who argue it’s political or woke.
