Leans Progressive
Primary
The film primarily explores the universal challenges of establishing and maintaining a functional democracy against internal and external threats, critiquing political gridlock and inaction from a broadly centrist perspective, while also featuring progressive themes of female leadership.
The series prominently features female empowerment and diverse representation, centering its narrative on strong female leads and showcasing varied roles for women. Its casting includes actors of diverse ethnic backgrounds, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden representation within the franchise. The show's marketing and critical recognition further underscore its explicit focus on advancing female representation and challenging traditional gender dynamics in media.
Secondary
The show features Ahsoka Tano, who consistently demonstrates superior skill in close-quarters combat. She achieves clear victories in lightsaber duels against male opponents, including an Inquisitor, and effectively defeats multiple male-coded droids in melee engagements.
The show 'Ahsoka' does not explicitly feature LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While the main character, Ahsoka Tano, is interpreted by some fans as a queer icon due to potential queer coding, these are not direct portrayals within the series itself, leading to an N/A rating for explicit depiction.
The Ahsoka series (2023) portrays all identified characters with genders consistent with their established canonical genders from prior Star Wars animated series and source materials. No characters were identified as having a different gender portrayal than their original depiction.
The show features alien characters (Ahsoka, Hera) whose established alien phenotypes are faithfully recreated with makeup and prosthetics, and a human character (Anakin) whose casting is consistent. Another character (Sabine) belongs to a fictional culture without a specified Earth ethnic analogue. No character canonically established as one human race is portrayed as a different human race.
