Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, particularly through its explicit critique of war profiteering and the wealthy elite, combined with its emphasis on democratizing heroism and challenging established power structures and legacies.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast among its new characters, though it does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles with minority actors. The narrative includes subtle critiques of established institutions and highlights diverse and female leadership, without making an explicit DEI critique central to its themes.
Secondary
The film features Rey, a Force-sensitive character, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat. She uses a lightsaber and martial skill to defeat multiple male Praetorian Guards.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi does not explicitly depict any LGBTQ+ characters or themes. There are no identifiable queer characters, relationships, or storylines present in the film's theatrical release, leading to a classification of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative and character arcs do not touch upon transgender identity in any capacity, leading to a determination of N/A for its portrayal.
No established characters from prior Star Wars canon or previous film installments had their gender changed in "Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi." All returning characters maintained their original gender, and new characters were introduced without altering pre-existing gender identities.
All main and legacy characters in Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi maintain their established racial portrayals from previous installments or their initial introduction in the sequel trilogy. No characters canonically established as one race were portrayed as a different race.
