Back when Star Wars wasn't woke [genderfluid] (discuss.tchncs.de)

That paragraph comes from the 1997 book The Bacta War, the fourth book in the series Star Wars: X-Wing

I find it "funny" when fans of sci fi and fantasy rant about how "back in the day, authors just told stories without any woke agenda" -yada yada yada- meaning such themes weren't discussed, but when you actually look back, sci fi and fantasy always was full of "woke" themes (mostly because that was the best (and often only) places where such things could be discussed and explored).

Idk, just wanted to share this and thought it might be interesting to someone here.

Many saw it as kids and don’t think about it any further.
