"The Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice. Although
they´re ostensibly heroes within the Star Wars universe, the Jedi
are inappropriate symbols for justice work. They are a religious
order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism
How are they white saviors when most of them aren't even human, and of
the humans, plenty of them are non-white?
Is this like the African-American Vulcan nonsense on STAR TREK?
You remember that too? The wounded woke screaming that of course there are >African-American Volans, and Native American Vulcans, and Asian American >Volans.

More lies from the resident sack of shit. There was exactly one token
black dude in Lucas's universe until you sold out to Disney and the DEI >version came along.

In STAR WARS, the good guys wear white yoga pants. Brown accessories
if they're *really* good.
What about the colors of their ultra phallic light sabers?
I assumed those reflected temperament, like mood rings...
The baddies usually use red blades. The goodies use a variety of
colours - Samuel L. Jackson asked for his character to have a purple
blade.
