Seriously, it's like watching a 1950s Disney animated film. It's actually pretty amazing, as Lucas clearly was trying to be more inclusive by having strong female and minority characters in the movie. It's almost as though his subconscious couldn't help but jam these awful concepts into his film.
Except Disney hasn’t put a woke racist warning at the beginning of the prequels. Yet.
