Matthew Fox, Alex Kormann, and Erin McGowan of Star Wars Generations on The Ethical Panda network take stock of LGBTQIA+ representation across the full canon for Pride Month 2026: from the covert queer coding of Lando and Admiral Holdo, to the openly queer High Republic novels, to the all-female coven of “The Acolyte” and the deeply felt enemies-to-lovers arc of Zeb and Kallus in “Rebels.”The hosts bring genuine stakes to the conversation: Erin grew up in a conservative religious community where bisexuality wasn’t a thing you talked about. Matthew is non-binary and queer. Alex is the self-described straight cis member of the group, and arguably the most frustrated by how often the films blink first. Why does Star Wars take bigger risks for a smaller audience? And after decades of queer characters thriving in the books while the films hedge, will the next wave of Star Wars projects finally close that gap?Full show notes and resources: Here **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations , an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network .
