The movie is therefore not pushing an SJW agenda if Finn's race or Rey's gender have no bearing in the main plot. Is Rey a Mary Sue? Sure, and that is poor writing, but we can probably find dozens of protagonists in dozens of moves where that is the case as well.

I'll admit that I was not aware that "officially" those two characters are supposed to be gay/pansexual/genderfluid/whatever. But had you gone without any negative preconceptions to those movies, it is literally impossible to tell. There is not a millisecond of indication and it has no impact plot in any way whatsoever. Half the cast could be gay and it changes nothing, literally nothing. It's like when Dumbledore was gay. So what?

I do not know the circumstances behind that Tweet and it sounds like a knee-jerk reaction, but I can see it being a response to people imagining SJWs and political agendas everywhere.

Not everything has to be clearly stated, but Jonathan Kasdar has clearly stated it. And I firmly don't support anything that has a blatant Mary Sue character in it.

 

I have no problem with inclusion, but I also don't care to muddy things up with useless information just for the sake of virtue signaling. "Lando is pando". Cool, does it come up? No? Then who fucking cares? I also don't care for unrealistic collections of tokens. Like in TLJ: strong independent Mary Sue, gay ace pilot, black guy, and an asian bitch all team up to take down a white guy and his white guy friends who all work for an evil old prick. HMM.

Poor you. Having to emphathize with people who look different from you when colored people/women have been asked to do that for 50+ fucking years of Hollywood films. How awful for you. 

It's like hearing a person who's only ever flown first class complain about flying in second class once or twice a year with other people.
