Leans Progressive
Primary
The series is left-leaning due to its central narrative of a diverse, grassroots Resistance fighting against the systemic oppression and exploitation of a fascist-like First Order, emphasizing collective action and social justice.
The animated series 'Star Wars Resistance' showcases a visibly diverse cast of characters, including a variety of human and alien species, without explicitly altering the race or gender of established roles. The narrative primarily focuses on the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order, with DEI elements present through the character representation rather than as a central thematic critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
Star Wars Resistance features Orka and Flix, a same-sex couple confirmed by the show's executive producers. Their relationship is subtly depicted through their shared life and work, presenting them as normal, valued members of the community. Their queer identity is present but not central to the plot, avoiding both strong positive or negative narrative arcs, resulting in a neutral portrayal.
The show features Synara San, a capable pirate, who repeatedly engages in and wins physical fights using a staff against multiple male First Order stormtroopers in various episodes.
Star Wars Resistance introduces new characters and features established legacy characters like Poe Dameron and Leia Organa. All returning characters maintain their previously established genders from prior Star Wars canon, and no new characters are gender-swapped from existing source material.
Star Wars Resistance primarily features new characters created for the series, to whom the race swap definition does not apply. Legacy characters like Leia Organa and Poe Dameron are depicted consistently with their established races from prior Star Wars media.
