To honor Transgender Day of Visibility on Wednesday, Lucasfilm debuted an exclusive cover of the “Star Wars: The High Republic” comic book series that features two trans non-binary characters.

“In honor of #TransDayOfVisibility we’re proud to unveil an exclusive cover highlighting Terec and Ceret, trans non-binary Jedi, currently featured in Marvel’s The High Republic comic,” the Instagram post read. “We support trans lives and we are passionate and committed to broadening our representation in a galaxy far far way.”

First observed in 2014, the holiday is dedicated to celebrating transgender people and bringing awareness to the discrimination and violence they face. President Joe Biden issued the first presidential proclamation that recognized the holiday.


Making their first appearance in the second issue of “Star Wars: The High Republic,” Terec and Ceret are Jedi bond-twins from the planet Kotab. Analytical and inquisitive, they have a linked consciousness and frequently finish each other’s sentences, even when they aren’t in the same room.


The “Star Wars” universe has introduced a vast number of creatures and characters over the last few decades, becoming a fertile landscape for diversity and inclusion. While Terec and Ceret may be the first trans non-binary Jedi characters, it isn’t the first time trans and non-binary characters have appeared in the larger franchise. Introduced in tie-in novels in 2016 and 2018 respectively, the first two trans non-binary characters to appear in “Star Wars” canon were pirate ruler Eleodie Maracavanya and aspiring scoundrel Taka Jamoreesa.


In late 2020, “Star Wars: Squadrons” introduced a Mirialan pilot named Keo Venzee who used they/them pronouns. The video game portrayed them as a wise-cracking joker with a Keo was revealed to be Force-sensitive, they quickly dismissed this power by saying their abilities were just a hunch. The campaign left Keo’s storyline unresolved, opening up the possibilities of the character showing up in future stories.

Here is a page from the comic mentioned in which a Jedi misgenders them and is corrected on her pronoun usage by a Jedi Master.

Of course they're trans and nonbinary. They have no other characteristics to speak of. No hopes, no dreams, no flaws, no aspirations. Nothing beyond their gender identity. Without that, they're just background characters.

Another book that will sell billions I am sure. Nice job.

I've never understood how in the fuck that's supposed to work. "Trans" implies that you are going from one state to the next. Nonbinary means that you don't have an interest in any of the states (and is a completely made-up fashion identity for bored white women who feel like they're losing on the oppression stack but that's a different rant for a different topic). If transpeople actually gave a shit, they'd be fighting all these nonbinary nonsense as it essentially mocks their existence and degrades what it means to be a transsexual.

Case and point, this character here from Disney's latest attempt to devalue the Star Wars brand. I don't see anything about this character that would make them trans but I see that they're supposed to be some kind of gender neutral being. The label "trans" seems like it was reflexively added on to the character's description despite them not really being that. Maybe I'm just thinking too much about it, but shouldn't this shit be offensive to a transperson?

Even WITH it, they're background characters when you realize nobody buys/reads the High Republic.

Regular fans hate it because it has turned the SW brand into a soap opera instead of a space opera, where the plots are driven by romantic misadventure and talking about how you're feeling...

Normies are disinterested and demoralized from touching it since the cancelation of Gina Carano for not apologizing for being conservative means there's a sense of dread that getting to know a SW property is like getting to know that kid right out of boot camp, why get emotionally invested when it can't last? Whatever you like in it will eventually be sacrificed as "problematic".

And those who "support" it just "like" the official Tweet from the creator and consider it boosted.... they're only in it to virtue signal and police the fandom, not actually support the product.

The character is even white and bald with no real distinguishing features. A complete blank slate, just with no gender, but also transitioning from no gender to no gender.

Analytical and inquisitive, they have a linked consciousness and frequently finish each other’s sentences, even when they aren’t in the same room.

So not only are they super special, they're so fucking unhinged from reality they finish each other's sentences when apart. Because talking to yourself or others about an irrelevant conversation they're not involved in doesn't make you look like a schitzophrenic who can't tell where your twin's head ends and your ass begins.

The key to getting kids to care about star wars again is too make it about alien genitals.

Edited start wars to star wars

SJWs have their heads so far up their own asses they think a character correcting another character on a character's pronouns counts as entertainment.

Putting all politics aside this is shit is just fucking booooooooooooooring, nobody caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaares...

Nobody in their right mind gives a single fuck about fictional alien's fucking pronouns.

These morons can't even begin to comprehend the concept of media as not just a propaganda brainwashing tool but as entertainment for, ya know, fun, everything exists to serve their message and there's nothing more to it, everything else is just a façade, it's literally no different than Christian media where the "entertainment" factor takes a huge backseat to the Christian messaging, this comic is closer to Bible Man than anything resembling actual Star Wars.

Except the difference with Christian media is you'd at least get a Veggie Tales and at least with Christian media, as cheesy as it can often be, you are still getting a Christian message, which is better than Woke's Satanic message.

Thinking "I am whatever I say I am" as opposed to what you are naturally born as (or, if you'd like, how God created you) is at it's core a Satanic concept.

So let that sink in, we now live in age where there's a Satanic equivalent to media like Bible Man.

This is the kind of thing Threepio would say in the background before Han Solo told him to shut up and he fell down for some reason.

At this point, I'm just impressed at how much sheer damage Disney is doing to a formerly-invincible franchise.

Merchandise sales in the toilet, EA producing the only games, The Last Jedi considered terrible and Rise of Skywalker being largely considered non-canon.

They've turned a franchise that literally printed money since the 80s into a laughingstock in under 5 years.

You make it sound way more awesome than it actually is.

Actually I guess Devilman is kind of the Satanic equivalent of Bibleman, and it is indeed awesome (and has way better nonbinary characters that it introduced in the fucking 70s).

When you see how in the last 5 years they couldn't even make a hit out of their own franchises, it's really not impressive anymore.

They've been creatively sterile for years, it finally caught up to them, nobody there knows how to write a story anymore. They've hired so many consultants and women's studies majors that they forgot to hang on to at least a handful of actual animators and storyboardists.

ANd, in a panic, they bought a money printing machine, but, nobody there is smart enough to figure out how to feed the paper into it, all they can think of is to shout "DVIERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!" at it until it starts working.

Disney is a prime example that even "Too big to fail" has a limit. Every business, given sufficient time, chokes on it's own corporate bureaucracy.

Ever notice how when a man cuts off his dick, he doesn't become a woman, he becomes a transwoman? A "they/them"? They take great pains to ensure you know that they're trans. If the goal was to become a woman, why would they do this? Why draw attention to the fact that they're an aberration? The only explanation is that they don't want to be mistaken for mere women. They want to be known as the unique marvels of the modern world they believe they are. By their own definition, they are not women. They're something else. Something special.

To them, "trans" is simply a modifier that indicates that they're better than you. They're "transitioning" from morally inferior to morally superior. It's like religious conversion. You don't have to convert from one religion. You can convert from a nonbeliever to a believer. That is what they mean by "trans".

That is exactly my thinking.

The idea that something (including trans-people) is special, should be worshipped, should be protected and should be treated as higher than God is ridiculous and ultimately destructive. Why do we have to force society to believe in this "special" notion? And by force I mean "if you don't like trans people you are a NAZI!!!111" type of shaming and even isolation if you don't conform.

I'm more interested in the hutt tied up in the background with a guys tied to him/riding him. What's going on there? THAT'S the Star Wars I want to know about! Perfectly good premise, ruined by genderqueers begging for attention in the foreground.

Star Wars used to be the big thing in pop culture and in less than a decade it was ruined.

Go back and watch the documentary "The People vs George Lucas" and marvel at how incredibly dated it is, all these people, endlessly bitching and moaning about the state of Star Wars post Prequels, having no idea what was around the corner.

People actually thought "Han shot first" was a big deal, fucking shit, they hadn't seen anything yet.

I'm not saying the Prequels weren't bad too, but they didn't sink Star Wars as an entire media franchise, there was still quality stuff coming out (ie KOTOR) and still loads of potential, Disney on the other hand has damn near sunk the entire thing and fucked with the storyline so bad at this point there's barely any potential, if any at all, left in it's future.

You make it sound way more awesome than it actually is.

Actually I guess Devilman is kind of the Satanic equivalent of Bibleman, and it is indeed awesome (and has way better nonbinary characters that it introduced in the fucking 70s).

We were fooled, we were lied to, Satan is the father of all lies after all.

Satanic doesn't really mean the 1980s heavy metal idea where everyone is a badass and partying hard, Satanic is more accurately represented by these modern soyed out losers who throw a shit fit if you use the wrong pronoun, nothing about Satan is funny or fun.
