Aw man, I wish I could have cited your podcast interview for an article whose edits I returned a few weeks ago!!!! (Part of the argument was that the popular reception of TFA was inextricably bound up with the minority heroes either in celebration or backlash; classic Reviewer #2 said, "Are they really minority heroes though? For all we know, white people are the minority in the Star Wars Universe!" *is still table-flipping on that one*)
