Star Wars is so disgustingly anti-black sometimes it just makes me grit my teeth and cringe. We need to talk about this. ALL of this. More often.
Lets talk about Steela and Val and never letting any black women live or thrive. Let& #39;s talk about Finn and the way that he was narratively pushed to the side to make room for white protagonists. Let& #39;s talk about Saw and the way they treat him like a thug. Let& #39;s talk about Mace...
...and the ways that the fandom is literally always trying to find reasons to villainize him. Let& #39;s talk about Lando and the way that he isn& #39;t half as loved as Han despite being just as lovable and just as fleshed out. Let& #39;s talk about how D-O got more SW hype than Jannah.
LETS TALK ABOUT IT. Let& #39;s love Star Wars with all our hearts but let& #39;s talk about it and BE CRITICAL OF IT and learn how to hold that equilibrium.
