10 Biggest Behind The Scenes Star Wars Mistakes That Ever Happened

10. Not Really Committing To Star Wars' First Real LGBTQ Big-Screen Moment - The Rise Of Skywalker

An awful lot of fuss was made over J.J. Abrams' comments of his Skywalker Saga-concluding Rise of Skywalker entry containing a moment that would involve the LGBTQ community "being represented in the film" in the lead-up to Episode IX.

And despite both Oscar Isaac and John Boyega repeatedly hinting at their desire to see Poe Dameron and Finn, respectively, head down a romantic route together, their director clearly sensed the duo's relationship was "a far deeper one than a romantic one”, according to an interview with Variety.

So, the question of how Abrams, Lucasfilm, and Disney were going to deliver a moment that didn't merely act as a blink-and-you'll-miss-it acknowledgement of the LGBTQ community being present in the galaxy far, far away was on the lips of many heading into the 2019 flick.

But in the end, that's precisely what the fleeting moment of representation amounted to, sadly, with the director and those behind the flick instead opting to sprinkle in a five-second same sex smooch in the background late on rather than a genuine attempt to lace a meaningful LGBTQ development involving two of the franchise's leading lights; a gesture that quickly felt like a backwards step more than anything else.
