Her character is pretty bad based on the first 2 episodes. The actress is not a very good actor, and that whole “Obi Wannn come out to play!” shit was beyond cringe.

And before some idiot makes this about race, it has absolutely nothing to do with that.

Sure there is some questionable casting choices in this show but I see that as a separate thing.

So internet trolls make racist comments, seems par for the course to me, what has that to do with the Disney doing some "woke" thing in this show? I'm not seeing shit like that in this show. What am I missing?

It isn't in the show.

It's their social media campaign that pre-emptively started calling out people for being racist when in fact nobody had actually DONE it yet.

Then once Disney started popping off stupid and unnecessary Tweets, the trolls doubled down. And so Disney responded in kind and anybody that's appeared in a Disney property of late is out there patting themselves on the back for being inclusive and mostly just woke-scolding online. Suddenly there was a completely manufactured 'Star Wars fans are racist!' trend on social media.

All Disney had to do was NOTHING. But because they absolutely refuse to not go out there and stick their noses in this shit, it became a thing. It's not the show that they're mucking up - it's Disney being Disney and making me REALLY hate this organization writ large.
