I am a massive left winger and progressive and even I think
that they tried to sacrifice actual film making for hitting quotas of minorities and women. unlike more right wing people I don't think this is because of some SJW Disney plot to turn America beige and effeminate. But I think they did focus groups and crunched the numbers and wrongful concluded that "if we put women in it we wills ell more toys to girls and get more views in the theatre. if we put an asian in we will sell more to asian kids".
its not some progressive conspiracy, just a corporate mcidentity politics. but the last Jedi film sales drop and the massive amounts of toys that sat on shelves showed they didn't understand their core audience. it was like putting in a Native American lgbtq midget in die hard because you want to get away from foley appealing to "white men".
This is without even going in to the fact Rian Johnson confused good film making (or even the basics of filming) with subverting expectations...
men have always made them money and are the die hard fans. its like trying to make a barbie movie appeal to grown men. makes no sense.
