Star Wars is an especially contentious subject that every "enlightened centrist" and lib manages to project onto history in some offensive way. Really, it's more like a mirror for backwards education of history, so they can just go "when Star Wars does X, it reminds me of how I was taught such-and-such people did stuff." Perfect example being the Ottomans "stealing" children (neglecting the fact many parents offered their children to the devshirme because it could increase their status).
Another example, one that upset me, was some YT video about the Clone Wars episode where the Pantorans claim an ice moon and the Chairman is trying to kill the indigenous alien species, and ultimately Senator Chuchi makes peace with them by respecting their sovereignty. Somehow, someone argued that the aliens were little better than animals, brutal savages, and Chuchi betrayed her people's interests by letting them keep their planet (which didn't even have significant resources). His defense of that was that it wasn't racism, because these are aliens. I've seen other scifi videos where they justify using flamethrowers on bug people (Geonosians); and a "pro-human" speech for the movie Avatar where the villain conflates humanity with building wonders, not primitive connections to nature.
I guess what annoys me to where I can't listen is where people find a way to be racist by using proxies so when you point out "that's racist", they just roll their eyes like you're too sensitive and tell you it can't be, because it's an alien.
