Making it less woke would have made it successful with one simple trick .
Let Luke be a positive male hero.

What does "less woke" have to do with "positive male hero"? Do you think there is no woke media with positive male heroes? Do you believe all non-woke media has positive male heroes?
The best positive male representation I've seen was on very progressive (what you'd call "woke") shows.

I agree that making Luke turn out better would have been one of many keys to its improvement, but I don't think that was done to be woke. If anything it was more regurgitation. They felt like he needed a hermit phase like Obi Wan.
Also, there were supposed to be positive male heroes in it, right? Finn, even Kylo Ren in the end, and the guy whose name I forget that's the pilot.
Having one of the key characters be a female hero goes back to A New Hope so I'm not sure if this is actually a good faith complaint.
