“As I have stated before, these are terms [gay, lesbian, homosexual] that do not exist in Star Wars. Thread closed.”
George Lucas and his companies are well-known for the lengths to which they’ll go in pursuit of those who would sully the Star Wars canon, which long ago devolved from fun pulp-art to a Disneyfied vehicle for selling action figures and other branded merchandise to six-year-olds, so, without knowing much about the cause, I’ll assume that the Lucas entities are the reason Bioware won’t allow fans of its upcoming Star Wars massive multiplayer game even to mention these verboten concepts.
And perhaps they have a point: As we’re often told, in non-Star Wars contexts, equal rights for gays and lesbians can only lead us further down a certain slippery slope.
