Re: Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
I'd recommend both it and The Acolyte!
The former because it's light fun... inoffensive nonsense.
Tho, I've never understood the complaint of 'if I'm not represented, I cannot feel as though I can sympathize with the POV characters.' I've never had an issue getting on board with the Final Girl in a horror even though I am not a girl. If a character is done well I have never had an issue relating them. Though, I do not fault folks wanting to see performers who look like they do, doing stuff. That being said, Star Wars already has a lot of white boy heroes.
The latter because it was absolutely the BEST live-action Jedi anything which Disney had made as of yet! I have already pre-ordered the new tie-in novel. That being as it is, I do hope Ahsoka season two steps up.
Finally, from my experience in western education, parents' opinions on messaging often has little, if anything, to do with how their children feel about whatever it is. At least not for all that long annnnnd in some cases it actively informs them to take an opposite stance I don't think that's where the corporation's worries lie... honestly I'd say it was foreign markets which effect major choices these days. No longer is the question, Does it play in Peoria, now it's, Does it Play in China or India?!
But that's just my perspective.
