Welcome to "How to get blocked 101". The High Republic is the most inclusive and diverse era of Star Wars storytelling. I fully trust Leslye Headland, a queer woman herself, to keep it that way on screen. Hate, discrimination & alt right talking points will not be tolerated here.

This is, to the best of my knowledge, the first time an intimicy coordinator has been hired for a Star Wars project. Of course this might mean there will be sex scenes, however intimicy coordinators' work goes far beyond that, so I wouldn't expect sex scenes as of right now.

@StarWarsMeg1 It could be many things. An intense kiss scene like Bix/Timm in Andor, a full-on sex scene, nudity, a costume that forces an actor to show lots of skin (like Mystique in X-Men), to name a few. It's always better to have an IC on set, than have actors*actresses be uncomfortable.
