The Star Wars sci-fi series raised eyebrows this week after a new book explaining the origins of the franchise’s genetically-modified clone armies revealed a transgender warrior.
In the new Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers reference book, the franchise bends over backwards to appease woke readers, going as far as to shoehorn LGBTQ “inclusiveness” into one of its characters.
“THE SECRETS OF THE CLONE TROOPERS includes a first look at Sister, a trans woman clone trooper,” reads a Star Wars fan page’s X post.

The post went on to explain:
[Clone Captain] Rex’s description of Sister in the book reads: “When one of our kind expressed her gender identity differently than her fellow troopers, she featured [sic] she’d have to hide who she truly was inside. Fortunately, her brothers in the 7th Sky Corps gave her the name Sister as a constant reminder that she belonged”
Social media users disappointed with the latest woke development lamented the once-great franchise.
This can't be real. Gotta be a parody… there is no freaking way!

Is anyone else wondering just how bad it can get? We keep hitting levels where I say "Surely this is the lowest they'll let Star Wars go" and they blow right past it the next day like it's nothing.

Sadly, this Bold and Brave trooper was the only suicide recorded amongst the 10s of millions of troopers. 😔 He was defective.

Rex would literally scoff at this guy and tell him he’s a liability on the battlefield due to insanity

Plus… how did they know they were a woman? The clones had nearly no woman experience on their upbringing in Kamino and only their trainers and mentors… learning only combat and survival.
Why did they make him wrong

This is why you NEVER allow activist shills into your spaces or your fandom.

I used to love to welcome new people into the things that I love… but they they screwed it all up.
I have nothing but contempt for these story-killing bastards.

The woke update has undoubtedly left many in the Star Wars fandom questioning whether they can keep supporting the franchise that’s being used as a vehicle to push political propaganda.
