What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Return of the Jedi puts story and character front and center. Cast decisions and character arcs serve the plot, not modern ideology. There's no obvious attempt at forced representation or identity politics influencing the narrative, allowing for organic storytelling and genuine character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional concepts like family, redemption, morality, and the hero's journey are celebrated, not subverted. The film presents fatherhood, faith, and sacrifice as positive and redemptive forces, without mocking masculinity or traditional values. No forced modern reinterpretations of classic themes here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a noticeable absence of contemporary ideological messaging. Good and evil are presented in universal, timeless terms. Dissenters (the Empire) are classic villains, not caricatures meant to mock traditional viewpoints. In fact, traditional virtues are front and center.
