Announced at Star Wars Celebration, Choi describes herself as a self-proclaimed activist and documentarian with little to no prior experience in traditional filmmaking, especially in the sci-fi or action genres typical of Star Wars. Her public statements and social media activity reveal a consistent focus on identity politics, activism, and wokeness, fueling fears that the film will prioritize ideology over quality storytelling.
