Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict against a tyrannical, fascist-like empire, coupled with its emphasis on a diverse Resistance and the theme of chosen family over inherited evil, aligns with left-leaning anti-authoritarian and social justice values.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through its casting of lead roles, featuring a prominent female protagonist alongside Black and Hispanic male co-leads. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes beyond the diverse representation.
Secondary
The film includes a brief, background same-sex kiss between two minor characters, marking a moment of incidental LGBTQ+ representation. This depiction is present but not central to the narrative, lacking significant character development or thematic exploration, thus resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.
The film features Rey, a female character, who engages in and wins a direct lightsaber duel against Kylo Ren, a male opponent. This victory showcases her proficiency in close-quarters melee combat.
The film 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to assess, leading to a net impact rating of N/A for this specific aspect. For example, no character arc or story plot involves transsexual identity.
No established legacy or new sequel trilogy characters in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker had their canonical gender altered in this film. All significant characters maintained their previously depicted gender.
The film primarily features new characters whose races were not established in prior Star Wars canon. Legacy characters are portrayed by their original actors or maintain their established racial background, thus no race swaps occurred.
