Woohoo 2022! 

This episode we start out by discussing the video game, Star Wars Eclipse, being developed by the studio Quantic Dream, and the movement, #BlackoutStarWarsEclipse.

Some backstory: The leadership at Quantic Dream has a long-standing and public history of bigotry, abuse, and toxicity. Here are links to some articles and videos that discuss the facts and allegations regarding the leadership at QD, and offer insight into what impact these decisions has.

BlackoutStarWarsEclipse is a movement started and supported by Star Wars content creators and fans that want the people and studios involved to be held accountable. Homophobia and bigotry have no place in Star Wars, or anywhere. 

I encourage you to do some research, checkout the hashtag on twitter, and get involved. Star Wars isn't "for everyone" but it could be. 

We also discuss the allegations of transphobic discrimination and assault brought against Rosario Dawson and her family. This was something that made headlines in 2019 and then quickly quieted down - But, it's not over and it hasn't gone away. Here's the link to the article that describes all the facts and allegations - with updates as of June 2020. More is sure to come. Believing victims is paramount. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/05/dedrek-finley-rosario-dawson-anti-trans-assault-lawsuit
