Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Progressive
Primary
The series' central narrative of a diverse group of rebels fighting against an oppressive, authoritarian empire strongly aligns with progressive values of anti-authoritarianism, liberation, and social justice.
The series features a visibly diverse main cast of new characters, encompassing various species and human ethnicities, rather than explicitly recasting established roles. The narrative focuses on a rebellion against an oppressive empire, which involves a subtle critique of authoritarian power structures without explicitly targeting traditional identities.
Secondary
The show features multiple female characters who engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Examples include Sabine Wren's melee weapon victories and Ahsoka Tano's lightsaber duels against male adversaries, demonstrating skill and strength.
Star Wars Rebels does not explicitly portray any LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. There are no identifiable queer identities or relationships presented in the show's storyline, leading to a 'N/A' rating for LGBTQ+ depiction.
Star Wars Rebels does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a diverse cast of characters within the Star Wars universe, but gender identity, specifically transsexual identity, is not a depicted element of the show's storytelling.
Star Wars: Rebels introduces new characters and features established characters from the broader Star Wars canon. All returning characters maintain their previously established gender, and no new characters are gender-swapped from prior canonical or historical portrayals.
Star Wars: Rebels primarily features new, original characters whose races were not previously established. Legacy characters appearing in the series are consistently portrayed in line with their established races or species from prior Star Wars canon. No instances of a character canonically established as one race being portrayed as a different race were found.
