*No Plot Spoilers*<\/span><\/p>\n

I went in blind as Ray Charles with Obi Wan Kenobi<\/em>.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t even know it was in the works, didn\u2019t know when it was going to drop, didn\u2019t know a single plot point behind the entire series.\u00a0 But when I heard that it had dropped, I figured why the heck not, considering mythical wife and I have mostly enjoyed all the other Disney+ original series based on Star Wars properties thus far.<\/span><\/p>\n

So as stated above, I will give nothing away because I don\u2019t feel like writing about anything other than the impetus to this post, and frankly nobody reads my shit anyway so it\u2019s not like I have anyone but myself to appease.\u00a0 But if there\u2019s absolutely one observation that I feel like bringing up from the first two episodes of Obi Wan, it\u2019s just, what the fuck are all these Asians doing in a Star Wars production?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, I am all for and support moar Asian representation in media, but there\u2019s been no secret that racist-ass Lucas hasn\u2019t exactly been sprinting to the forefront at including Asians into their hallowed universe.\u00a0 But two episodes into Obi Wan, and I\u2019m seeing so many Asian people in the cast, credits and as extras, I\u2019m beginning to wonder if this whole series is an HK knockoff that D+ absorbed the rights to or something and released themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Sung Kang in the show, as a presumable regular?\u00a0 Get the fuck out of here.\u00a0 Han from Fast & Furious<\/em>, as a character in Star Wars.\u00a0 This is unbelievable and unprecedented.\u00a0 Surely, he has to be the first Korean guy to crack a visual role in Star Wars, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see what happens to his character as the season progresses, but I for one am tickled pink at just how laughably blatant the Star Wars universe is trying to inject diversity into the IP.\u00a0 Because nothing says progress like corporate initiatives, statistical evidence and the need for representation in order to tap into demographics and their wallets!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
