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.

Satan is Hebrew for "Accuser," and Devil is from the Greek word for "Slanderer." Sums up SJWs pretty well.

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.


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.

I like the sequel trilogy lol also biblical satan is less of a dick than god (who throws a baby-murdering shitfit every other tuesday and one time throws such a big shitfit he murders everyone)

A reminder that this happens because they have hired people who would rather be working writing romcoms than actual action or sci-fi. They only care about genitals because they care about characters' romantic lives more than what they do for a living.

In any case, it'd been more interesting if such character is a "they" not because he's nb but because a single person is like a whole system of different people, an alien civilization with such characteristics sounds kinda cool to read about. But of course, these people lack any imagination beyond "dur dur im trans" to pull it off.

There could also be aliens that don't have seperate biological sexes. There are plenty of species even IRL that don't.

I feel like with decent writing Star Wars is a universe where you actually could introduce a nonbinary quite easily.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Oh to look back to the days when people thought midichlorians and Jar Jar Binks were the worst things that could possibly happen to Star Wars. Poor naive fools.

The Hutts actually fall into that category.

 

[The Valeyard]

The Hutts actually fall into that category.

Not in Disney Star Wars.

"Hidalgo says that some facts have been hard to settle on — for example, Death Star sizes. But with the new canon, and a clean slate, it’s easier. Also, Hutts now have single sexes. (Jabba is definitely a dude.)"

My guess is that the grotesque appearance of Hutts hit too close to home for the transgender community.

 

[melcarba99]

I dont understand how you can be trans and nonbinary at the same time.

It's not like fucking cartoons have been handling non-binary characters and making them cool for years

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.

I feel like Jabba was originally conceived as a mass of tentacles pitched by Chris Claremont....before they promptly fired him.

 

[FencePost]

They. Are. Aliens.
Their varying resemblance to homo sapiens is incidental. You're applying the rules and logic of our evolutionary crapshoot of a reproductive system to beings that don't even know what a mammal is. It's like trying to apply genders to plant life or fungi.

Most actual slugs are true hermaphrodites too, which I would assume is the reason for making Hutts NB in the old canon. Same with snails. A snail inspired race could actually be really cute.

Suddenly the rise of Islam doesn't look so bad tbh

• A New Islamic Hope
• The Decadent Western Empire Strikes Back
• The Return of the Prophet

See, you get it.

 

[Kaiser Rotbart]

Wouldn't caring that strongly about one's gender (or "one's position on the gender spectrum" or whatever) to actively go trans go against the whole "no attachement" thing the Jedis have?

Which is often stupid in its own ways, but now we basically get stupid unless it gets overridden by an even stronger stupid.

We must unite against Huttophobia. Jabba dindu nuffins!

One of the Jedi Padawans in The High Republic has a pet charhound (basically a dog) which, if you've seen John Wick, seems like a bad idea.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

How can you be trans and non-binary when trans implies there is a binary?

 

[Troonologist PhD]

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.

I’ve actually seen Bible Man and it’s actually so bad it’s good. Nothing Wokies create is enjoyable. If you’re enjoying the lecture then you’re not getting the intended effect.

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).

REEEEEE CHRISTIANITY BAD!

Right. Satanism is just sociopathy/narcissism pretending to be religion and yet imbeciles still defend it.

Satan is Hebrew for "Accuser," and Devil is from the Greek word for "Slanderer." Sums up SJWs pretty well.

Satanism means “followers of the Liar.” Totally trustworthy and not trying to gaslight people into believe evil is good.

I like the sequel trilogy lol also biblical satan is less of a dick than god (who throws a baby-murdering shitfit every other tuesday and one time throws such a big shitfit he murders everyone)

You’re pro-abortion. Your opinion is invalid.

There are male and female plants. Unlike humans, duh.
