True. What we now know makes Star Wars implausible, but I guess it's more fantasy than science fiction.
Of course, political correctness is a problem, but how far could you really go with the original material anyway?
There's a limit to how much the filmmakers can come up with, so they just make everything woke, multiracial and LGBTQ positive and feel like they are doing something original.
You nailed it, alright.
