My theory is they have to write the way they were taught in film school and aren't smart or bold enough to break tradition, so that's why you get characters who are supposed to be EVIL but are actually sympathetic and sometimes really awesome. It's like the college football coach who just wants to run the ball up the center over and over because that's how great-grandad did it and passing is for pussies. If that makes any sense.
The problem is, they haven't been taught moral objectivity. They're still going with the childish notion of "if something feels/sounds good, it's good" instead of actually learning what it means to be good.
That's why Filoni's cartoons have characters demonizing mature things like bureaucracy in shows like Bad Batch, Ahsoka, and the Mandalorian, despite the fact that yes, the male Asian senator telling Hera that they can't just send help for Ahsoka actually makes a good point that they can't spend resources on a goose chase likely to end in failure when there's a million different problems their people have, and a system like the Chain Code system from the Bad Batch actually works better for public safety as it allows the authorities to keep track of someone in case they go missing or decide to commit a felony. Yet these things are supposed to be bad because it works against the heroes' favor.
Hell, Filoni tried to portray a more militarized Republic as bad during the Ahsoka Trial arc, yet it only makes sense that the Republic would be so militarized thanks to the Clone Wars, not to mention having a Jedi who assaults police officers get tried as a common citizen makes sense when your faction's main premise is that all Republic citizens are equal before the law, and that should include Jedi and military officers.
The scene that stuck to me the most was when Filoni tried to demonize Dooku for daring to collect taxes from Separatist planets to fund a war effort. A war effort, mind you, that was meant to keep them free from the Republic. And yet we're supposed to believe natives of Separatist worlds didn't like that, when it was their desire to be free of the Republic that necessitated such a system to exist in the first place, because groups like the Trade Federation and the Geonosians don't make battle droids and large capital ships for free. So no shit, you'd need that system.
But the whole idea of bureaucracy sounds like it's for those stuff-shirt know-it-alls that usually get in the way of the heroes in Saturday Morning Cartoons, which explains why someone like Filoni would just paint them as bad. A bureaucrat would try to hold a superhero accountable for all the damage they do, or try to force them to work within the boundaries of the law, and that's not something your average childish audience would like. So of course, Filoni paints them as bad.
What we see nowadays are authors whose heroes learn little about discipline or accountability, because they themselves aren't big fans of others trying to hold them accountable or forcing discipline unto them. It actually is the exact opposite of the premise that Star Wars was built upon, where a Jedi hero has to learn temperance, discipline, and self-restraint in order to become truly wise and good. Yet we don't see that anymore in today's heroes, it's all girl power and doing what you think or feel is right, which only gets you so far in life before the real world breaks your childish image in half like a kit-kat bar.
There's more going on about how utterly garbage college writing programs are and the american "me me me" participation award education system is, and that's before you get into the deep conspiracy that China is purposely using their money to pozz western media to make it suck so bad China can take them out, but I don't feel like going into everything.
I'm not so sure about that. The Chinese have a long history of hating woke, western SJWs. They even call the SJWs by a term-"Baizuo", ie. "white left", and it's used to describe leftists who care more about looking good than actually helping people. It's usually western money outfits like Vanguard and Blackrock funding woke shit, while China actually tried to protest about America spreading woke shit abroad and making Asian men less masculine and more effeminate.
Long story short, Chinese media like Black Myth Wukong are far less woke, the Chinese themselves prefer movies with strong male heroes like Optimus Prime, which explains why the Bayverse Transformers films always sold well there, and the CCP have actually gone on record to accuse America of spreading the Big Gay to other countries like Japan and neutralizing their masculine essence.
Remember how they had to shrink Finn's face in the TFA posters in China? The Chinese aren't big fans of the SJW platform of diversity.
I'm no fan of the Red Chinese, but it pays well to keep an eye on your enemies, and I've never seen China support the woke shit in the West in any capacity; those among them who are old-world Communists hate that shit, the capitalists among them don't like preachy SJWs telling them that masculine heroes aren't gucci anymore, and they openly hate the fact that their kids are flocking to see "sissy-men" male celebrities instead of the army.
