What We Think

Star Wars Resistance wears its modern, box-checking approach on its sleeve, swapping out classic hero archetypes for a more ideologically safe cast and narrative beats. It’s certainly woker than most older Star Wars, and probably best enjoyed by those looking for a sanitized, 2010s update.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show often highlights identity and diversity over nuanced character growth. Several characters fit modern identity checklists, sometimes at the expense of memorable personalities or compelling arcs. The focus on a youthful, hyper-diverse cast sometimes feels more like a box-checking exercise than organic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While not aggressively anti-family or anti-tradition, traditional masculine traits are sometimes sidelined and male authority figures depicted as inept or comic relief. Heroic qualities are primarily modeled by younger, more diverse leads, downplaying some classic Star Wars values in favor of modern reinterpretations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Dissenting or alternative views rarely get fair treatment. Standard-issue villains are parodies, and the Resistance’s ideology is seldom questioned. Themes tend toward contemporary social messaging, with very little in the way of internal pluralism or debate.
