Disney Star Wars has received criticism from some people due to a ”SJW agenda”. I posit that this is due to lazy writing, since (at least in my experience) most people tend to agree on what is done well. With good writing, we never really see outcries around these things being ”showed down our throats”.
Case in point. In Andor, we saw ”strong female characters” from many different lights. We got to see Mon Mothma, with her resilience and social sway, and her path towards bigger compromise and sacrifice. We followed Dedra, and the success of her focus and ambition. We saw the idealism and bravery of Vel and Cinta during their missions. The unwavering and proud spirit of Bix through her moments of injustice. And the wide reaching love of Maarva, which clearly inspired others to do what is right.
While empowered, we also got to see the flaws and complexity of all of these characters, which made them feel real and relatable. This even applied to i.e. Dedra. They were also not empowered at the cost of any male characters, which had equal depth and relatability, and who I could just as easily celebrate.
We also got to follow the romantic relationship between Vel and Cinta. This was just a subtle thing in the show, which makes a lot of sense from multiple perspectives. Clearly, they were both more focused on the cause, which was made even better by portraying Vels struggle with these circumstances. From a writing standpoint, I also find it beautiful to see fiction where relationships like theirs just are no big deal, as it suggests their world is beyond such bigotry. I also found their subtle reveal on Aldhani quite charming (the ”her bed is already taken”).
As a woman and lesbian myself, these things matter a lot to me. It has nothing to do with politics. Truly good representation doesnt just gift one group of people with relatable characters, they are a gift to everyone. They remind us that in the end, we are all the same, and that we can extend our empathy towards anyone. No matter who they are. Good writing has the power to transform us into better people, and we are all better because of Star Wars.
Send some love to Tony, Dan, Stephen, and Beau et al. for their fantastic work on this show. They deserve it.
