TV Discussion Homosexuality in Star Wars Television

I think that's the main reason I love watching Kanan and Hera so much is their relationship isn't dwelled on or focused on or over the top. It's just something that's a part of who they are and that's all it needs to be. They act just like almost every couple I know in my own life, gay or straight, and how I often think I act with my own mate in public too. That's what makes it enjoyable to watch, because it's believable.

If there were to be a gay character or gay relationship in the show, as long as it was depicted in the same casual sort of way, that would be perfect.

 

There is a HUGE difference and you know it.

EVERY show I've seen where "diversity" (esp homosexuality) became a big deal has ultimately failed. The Ellen Degeneres show, for example. Watched it. Loved it. She came out of the closet and it was "all lesbian, all the time". Enjoyment factor plummeted. Not only because of material considered offensive by a large segment of the population, but because it no longer talked about anything else.

If I want to watch a polemic about the alleged wonderfulness of being gay, I'll turn the channel to PBS.

If I want to watch Star Wars, I want to watch Star Wars.

The two do not belong together.

And those of us who don't want to see Star Wars turned into another chunk of "diversity" propaganda can just sit on it...is that what you are saying?

 

Alright, use Ellen DeGeneres as an example of how homosexuality can't connect with mainstream audiences.

It's a new millennium.

 

Not all change is good. Not all "lifestyle choices" should be encouraged.

What some people choose to do voluntarily in the privacy of their own rooms is their business. It's their existence physically and morally that they put at risk.

But there's nothing that says that society must positively promote those things as good.

 

...wow.

Don't bother arguing with him. That last post pretty much screams "I am a raging homophobe."

 

All right, I'll just edit my post then.

I just got carried away.

 

Oh god.

That would be perfect. Maybe if he doesn't turn him in he and the Inquisitor can become mentors to the younger couple.

What if Rae Slaone likes women? I could see it.

 

That would be awesome. I could see that for sure.

And she sends poetry to her wife every night because she loves her that much. And it's the fancy romantic kind.

 

...That would be adorable.

 

You wanna know something amusing? I can see Minister Maketh Tua giving Rae a look like that everytime she does something that is cute and amusing.

 

Tua keeps popping up places too. She was in the little section of Edge of the Galaxy that I read so far.

 

Is that a book?

Maybe Rae and her are working more because they want to buy a home on Dantooine with a white picket fence.

 

Edge of the Galaxy is the first part of the Servants of the Empire series. It focuses on Zare a year before Breaking Ranks.

The three other parts have yet to come out.

 

Oh right.

I really want to get that book. Thanks.

 

I bet if anyone in this show is gay/lesbian it will only be a minor character.

 

Maybe.

You never know though.

 

Just though of something could a clone of a straight person be gay.

 

I guess they could. I've never really thought about that before. It's possible, at any rate.
