They are fine and there is room to improve.No the original films were fine the way they are.. lack of diversity
My point stands-more diversity isn't a bad thing.

I agree. I see it as neither forced nor an agenda being pushed on me, any more than Lucas' more liberal political views and Vietnam allegory bothered me in the OT.Again, the only way diversity gets in the way is if you let it. When I watched any of these movies for the first time, the last thing I considered was the fact that there were female, African-American, Latino-American or Asian-American leads and how they may or may not have been handled. I was drawn into the story. Mileage of course may vary, but for me, it didn't get in the way. So, this idea of forced diversity that keeps getting brought up? I'm sorry but it just doesn't resonate with me.
TRoS could not have provided a better end to the Sequel Trilogy or to the Episodic films as a whole.
That they went for the whole diversity checklist sunk these films.
Or, as Hank Hill put it so succinctly...Wow. I’ve read some hilariously stupid things over the past 50 years. This ranks among the stupidest.

So what? Things can change to comment on such matters. After all, the Vietnam allegory was present from SW from the start. SW is not confined the tiny box that fans insist upon keeping it in.SW was not created to solve or even talk about racism. I think everyone kind of missed that

Wow did not take long for a simple question to dissolve into THIS..........AGAIN.
see .. fighting tyrannical regimes is a human story. But whatever. You can just use whatever terms you want top fit the argument. Dishonest AF. Next you are going to saw that diversity is also a human story. and while you are not wrong... SW was about what it was about. I watched a Few Good Men and loved it, but it wasn't about marriage or even love, but those are human stories every bit as much as some of the themes in that movie.But the concept of fighting a tyrannical regime to bring peace to the galaxy kinda screams social justice, don’t ya think?
SW expanded. Starting in ESB that story was ever expanding. ROTJ demonstrated far more with diversity of the Rebels, while the Empire was all male and white. This isn't a new concept.Next you are going to saw that diversity is also a human story. and while you are not wrong... SW was about what it was about.
And failed at the important aspects. They are beautiful to look at and...that's it.it's really amazing how much these sequels seemed to lack breadth and imagination. There are aspects of the prequels I loathe.. but they were trying to show us new things
Neither new nor offensive in SW.it's not just visual .. it's
Oh Rebels vs empire again (give them slightly different names but copy the same homework). Oh the new trilogy has TWO desert planets? How imaginative. And Palpatine is alive plagiarizing his lines from episode 3.
Did I miss something, because I don't remember racism coming up as an issue in any of the movies?SW was not created to solve or even talk about racism. I think everyone kind of missed that
