Two points to add to the discussion:
1) Disney is about as far from woke as it’s possible to be. They’re politically indifferent. They chase sales, and if they think an action will yield more sales, they take it. If there’s a policy not to merchandise Oola or enslaved Leia (and there just isn’t any such policy), then it’s because they think the benefits of that policy outweigh the costs. Full stop.
2) There really isn’t any conspiracy to politically correct anybody’s childhood. Paranoia about identity politics is out of control right now. People terrified about “woke” people ruining the things they love make a ton of (usually very wrong) assumptions about what might be the target of this sort of ire. Are there people offended by Leia’s depiction during Return of the Jedi? Absolutely. But it’s more likely to be Nancy Reagan than your average progressive. The woke boogeyman has become such a caricature of any real person’s beliefs, it’s absurd. Don’t sweat it! And if you hear actual people make actual claims about something, maybe talk to them to try to figure out why they believe what they believe, rather than automatically assuming they have some sinister agenda to deprive white men of their culture.
