The ‘Star Wars’ franchise is too old to still be queerbaiting

Star Wars is an absolutely sprawling franchise. With over 12 movies, nine shows, and over 100 games starring an assortment of humanoid aliens, it seems reasonable to assume that there’s a character for each and every one of us to relate to ⏤ or so one might think.

While being an absolute behemoth, the franchise hasn’t really made an effort to reach out to the LGBTQIA+ community in a meaningful way. While Disney has made strides toward inclusion with its other properties like Marvel, wherein characters like the Eternals‘ Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) is shown with his husband, or She-Hulk’s Nikki Ramos (Ginger Gonzaga) is a casual lesbian queen, the Star Wars properties have just a sprinkle of representation scattered throughout.
