It's about people who are easily influenced, i.e. kids.

These are issues we as adults can come to our own conclusions on, but as it's been said before, they have no place in child's play.
So are kids now somehow more weak minded or easily influenced than kids who watched this movie and played with their slave Leia figures back when ROTJ was new decades ago? As someone who watched this movie in elementary school with several teachers and parents on a school trip, then played with all the new figures from the film within weeks afterwards, there was zero "discussion" or explanation about the evils of the world needed or given. We all just enjoyed the movie and left it at that. Aside from most of us kids wanting to be Ewoks for Halloween, the "impact" that everyone nowadays is claiming this MIGHT have on kids definitely wasn't around in the 80's.
