Those are injuries though. I mean like an actual medical condition, something like “that character has autism” or “this one has asthma”. We only had one character with a medical condition that was something that wasn’t an amputee, the guy from Rogue One who takes off his breathing mask to take his last breath right before he was about to die. They portrayed it as a dramatic extension of his villainy. “Diversity” in Star Wars is incredibly disappointing.
Missing an extremity is an actual medical condition… I get your point about other kinds of conditions that are congenital or otherwise not directly due to physical harm. PTSD would be a good example of what could have been included in that case as well (this might actually exist in some form from disney). With how poorly so much of it was handled, it’s probably for the best that they didn’t try to tackle autism or Downs syndrome at the same time though.
Luke and Vader are both amputees
