Have you considered that the new SJW cast and crew has opened up Star Wars to be enjoyable for a much larger audience, rather than basically nerdy white dudes & a small sector of nerdy non white dudes as it was in the past? All I see here is rage that writers are pandering to a more diverse audience instead of pandering to you.
right, its mainstream audiences invading a franchise built and beloved by nerds. i can see framing this as an erosion of "nerd identity", but would add that framing it in racial or gender terms("sjw")poisons the discussion.

does all media need to be for all audiences?
