We get it, Disney. We get it.

Star Wars is not for women.

Star Wars is not for Black people.

Star Wars is not for Asian people.

Star Wars is not for Queer people.

Star Wars is not for anyone who is marginalized and has different lived experiences.

Nope. Star Wars is ONLY for cishet white men. We hear you loud and clear. We know you don’t care about us at all.

Why are people so against shipping Rexsoka??

Unlike Anisoka, there is no canonical evidence that points to Ahsoka and Rex having a sibling bond.

In The Clone Wars season 7, which was released in 2020, which is fairly recent, Ahsoka’s relationships with Anakin and Rex were both DEFINED in HER WORDS. When asked where she learned how to fight, she replied with “my older brother taught me.” So she thinks of Anakin, her master, as a brother, however, when she is speaking with Rex before Order 66 she tells him that “The Republic couldn’t have asked for better soldiers, nor I a better friend.” She said herself that she thinks of him as a friend!!

I believe that since she thinks of Anakin as a brother, shipping Anisoka is kinda weird (but you do you). But, because she thinks of Rex as a friend, I think shipping Rexsoka is perfectly normal. Many ships are merely friendships, so what makes this one any different?

Anyone that claims that Rexsoka is gross because they are basically siblings has only fanon headcannons as evidence. Often times, fan’s interpretations get spread until it’s different from the canon material. This ship is a prime example and it shouldn’t be shunned for this reason.

HOWEVER, since Ahsoka is technically still a teenager throughout The Clone Wars, I think shipping their older selves is more appropriate and the sexualization of TCW!Ahsoka is disgusting.

In conclusion, if you block people or are rude to people that ship Rexsoka, please don’t, you’re overreacting, and you may want to go home and rethink your life.
