I fell asleep during episode 2 last night. I'll reserve judgment until I've seen the whole thing, but getting worked up over that interview is stupid. They are gay. They make jokes about droids being gay. None of that is relevant to the show itself.
Is it woke? Well, they take representation to the extreme. The only white person I recall seeing in the entire show is the one murdered and they made sure that was a woman. They appear to have created entirely new species of aliens just to make sure the Jedi weren't white humans, especially men. They went a little cliche, which for woke leftists, should be racism by making the older, wise, calm man the Asian dude.
The evil twin concept, which you pick up on immediately so it's not exactly a spoiler, isn't original. Nothing outstanding about the acting.....but it's not a terrible plot. It's at least out of the same ol' same ol'. If they wrote it to be great instead of worrying about DEI, it could be a big success by going outside the main characters, the way Andor did. We'll see. So far, other than excluding white people, I'm not going to buy into the cries of wokeness until I see it on screen.
