It seems that pushing gays and making their sexuality a highlight of the story is a norm for authors new to Star Wars. It sacrifices the fabric of chemistry and the flow of the story solely to present “Look! Gay! Trans! Its normal in Star Wars! Isn’t that great?!”. Its annoying. There is little to enjoy when stories and characters that seem likable and relatable are plagued with these handicaps that a small minority of the world would correlate themselves with. Stories and their characters shouldn’t cater with abnormalities to appeal and “empower” those who already get propped upon a pedestal as it is. If the essence of the original Star Wars or it’s prequels as told by George Lucas is not continued, then it’s not the same story or galaxy for that matter. Such is the case for books deviating from original intent, like in Brotherhood where Obi-Wan is hinted to be bisexual. Unnecessary and akin to The Rings of Power, contrasting Tolkien’s original work. A travesty that we must bastardize originality and decency.

Obi-Wan liking men and women? You could totally tell Obi-Wan only likes women.

Quick correction: Taika Waititi isn’t making a movie anymore, Patty Jenkin’s Rogue Squadron has been delayed indefinitely & so too has The Acolyte.
