Star Wars slammed for introducing trans Stormtrooper in latest attempt at “woke” inclusivity

Disney’s Star Wars franchise has sparked controversy once again by unveiling its first transgender Stormtrooper, a character named Sister, leading to widespread backlash and accusations of “woke” pandering.

The character, initially mentioned in the 2022 book Queen’s Hope, has now been officially added to the Star Wars lore in the new book Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers.

Depicted as a soldier with dreadlocks and armour painted in the colours of the transgender flag, Sister’s inclusion has been met with mockery and disdain from many longtime fans of the franchise.

Critics argue that this latest move further dilutes the essence of Star Wars, accusing Disney of forcing modern identity politics into a beloved sci-fi universe that was once known for its immersive storytelling and escapism.

Social media reactions have been harsh, with fans labeling the decision as “moronic” and accusing the creators of “destroying fantasy” to appease a small segment of the audience.

“This can’t be real. Gotta be a parody … there is no freaking way,”

“Is anyone else wondering just how bad it can get? We keep hitting levels where I say ‘Surely this is the lowest they’ll let Star Wars go’ and they blow right past it the next day like it’s nothing.”

While some supporters have praised Disney’s commitment to inclusivity, the overall response has highlighted a deepening divide among fans, with many feeling that the franchise has strayed too far from its original roots in favour of promoting a political agenda.
