I think it\u2019s time, certainly, for that, and I love the fluidity \u2013 sort of the spectrum of sexuality that Donald appeals to and that droids are a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t make any hard and fast rules.

Abrams promised to represent the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the case of the LGBTQ community, it was important to me that people who go to see this movie feel that they\u2019re being represented in the film,\u201d Abrams&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/j-j-abrams-the-rise-of-skywalker-will-have-lgbtq-representation\">told Variety<\/a>. \u201cI will say I\u2019m giving away nothing about what happens in the movie.
