The evil character is objectifying them but the cinematic language of the camera isn?t encouraging the audience to salivate over Leia. We feel her discomfort and disgust at the situation. Jabba is the bad guy. No one wants to be him and we root for Leia to choke the life out of him for what he?s done to our heroes.

So I guess I just don?t understand the wokist approach to abolishing all history of wrongdoings regardless of the lessons they teach in the present and the context in which they were presented in popular media while still simultaneously harping on about these same injustices at every possible opportunity. If anything, ROTJ teaches us that strip clubs are where nasty people hang out and mistreating a women will get your windpipe crushed.
But nah- female character not presented as infallible at all times = bad. Must erase.

Maybe that's why we haven't gotten a re-release of Jabba, he's essentially Harvey Weinstein haha
