You can't discuss Star Wars without politics, classic or modern. Or Star Trek. Or Planet of the Apes. Or Captain America. The character's name is literally political.
Respectfully, I think you're being facetious. There's a clear and obvious difference between discussing themes in media and topics directly discussing current US politcs/elections, especially when topics sometimes seem intentionally divisive.
I don't like the change and don't think it should have happened (I simply don't engage with topics I don't want to read or be involved it, like a grown adult), but it's not hard to infer the intent behind the change.
