They'd hyped it up too much to postpone it, I think, and probably shot and edited it too long ago to redo much of anything.

I mean, I get why people are uncomfortable, but as I understand it, it's a direct callback to the Order 66 scene in RotS, which would in turn directly affect and inform the plot of this series, so... eh. If we can never depict any fiction that has a parallel to real-life events - even uncomfortable ones - that leaves us with very little to work with, ultimately. Like, when would it come around to be "less icky" and "more acceptable"? One month later? Six? A year? Clearly that wasn't gonna happen. Should they have cut the entire thing? Should they HAVE to? It's worth a conversation, but it's not like they were trying to be insensitive or salacious.

Timing was undoubtedly unfortunate but eh, whatyagonnado. Some people found "Cloverfieled" insensitive due to its razing of NYC and characters onscreen wondering out loud if it was another terrorist attack... and that was YEARS after 9/11.

I'm inclined to think - without having seen the scene in dispute, I'll remind - that some people would have found the same scene just as "insensitive" even if it were a year out from any real-life events. But also, that they were theoretically right to include such a scene for the sake of storyline continuity.

But again, didn't actually see it. And probably won't. Disney Star Wars? YUCK!

Can't see myself ever being that bored, but you never know.
