In response, the official Star Wars Twitter account took a surprisingly bold stance by letting its racist fans know it hates them, which almost makes up for entirely catering to them by shoving Kelly Marie Tran in a corner for all of The Rise of Skywalker. Almost. I was going to embed it, but I like Rahul Kohli’s tweet better.
