yes so obsessed by a very difficult and time-consuming decision of "getting a woman in a movie". That choice was such a vital investment that it should become a cornerstone of any critique
Sometimes a story becomes a saga, which then becomes a franchise, which then becomes a genre, which then becomes a medium.
Star Wars has gone beyond that; it's become its own economy, where it's even spawning industries of its own. And one of those industries (which sucks) are Star Wars reaction/outrage merchants, who live off the crumbs of Star Wars by appealing to people who don't even like the damn thing.

media industry: sucks all creativity out of the craft and replaces it with metrics and focus groups geared towards mass appeal
🤡: it sucks cause there's a woman in it

My favourite accusation of woke was people complaining about princes leia being old and unattractive now. Like no shit? It’s been 40ish years?

The criticism is more "it sucks because all the producers cared about was getting a woman in it".

That's the more valid criticism. There's plenty of criticism in the "wamen bad" category.

It doesn't suck because of the "woke" stuff
It sucks because apparently a multi billion dollar company sucks as writing.
