Leans Progressive
Primary
The series' consistent focus on diverse female protagonists and their agency aligns with progressive values of representation and empowerment, making it lean left despite its generally apolitical, episodic narratives of heroism and friendship.
The series features a visible diversity in its cast, primarily through its focus on established female characters and the inclusion of various species and human ethnicities from the Star Wars universe. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without explicit critique, while empowering its diverse cast.
Secondary
The show features multiple female characters who engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. This includes Rey defeating scavengers with her staff, Jyn Erso using hand-to-hand combat against stormtroopers, and Maz Kanata physically overpowering a male bounty hunter.
Star Wars: Forces of Destiny does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes.
