I’ve been deeply captivated by Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, a film that masterfully constructs complex, multidimensional characters and thought-provoking themes over time. As the supernatural element is gradually introduced, one finds oneself fully immersed, rooting for these characters and what they represent to persevere in whatever shape survival may take. The majority of the individual conclusions in Sinners are surprising, yet they resonate authentically with each character’s journey and motivations. In the final moments, Smoke experiences a vision that sheds light on why he ultimately had to part ways with his brother and could never transform into a vampire.

Since the debut of “Andor” on Disney+ in 2022, it has garnered widespread acclaim for its gritty, adult themes and its audacity to explore topics that challenge the conventional boundaries of a “Star Wars” production. While “Star Wars” has historically aimed to cater to all ages as four-quadrant family entertainment, the focus on political machinations, espionage, and examining the corrupt workings of oppressive regimes in “Andor” makes it a “Star Wars” series designed for a more mature audience. This creative freedom enables “Andor” to delve into some grim territories, as evidenced by the Season 2 premiere’s opening sequence, which may represent the franchise’s bleakest moment yet.

As a film enthusiast, I firmly believe that the portrayal of rape on screen for entertainment purposes is inappropriate and unacceptable. The question of whether such scenes should be included in films is subjective, but in my opinion, they have no place in mainstream entertainment.

I find it baffling when people defend the inclusion of rape scenes in movies. I believe that these scenes serve no purpose other than to shock and disturb audiences, and do not contribute positively to the story or the overall quality of the film.

Additionally, as a fan of Star Wars, I feel that the franchise is known for its family-friendly themes and iconic characters. The insertion of unnecessary sexual assault scenes would not only be out of character with the franchise’s history, but it would also tarnish its reputation and alienate its dedicated fanbase.

In short, as a film enthusiast, I strongly believe that rape scenes have no place in mainstream entertainment, and the inclusion of such scenes in beloved franchises like Star Wars would be detrimental to both the story and the franchise’s legacy.
