I may be Completely Missing The Point here, but the way this trope seems to be structured comes across that Jewish characters are to act in a certain way, different than other people, and have to show the fact that their Jewish beyond certain holidays and basic behaviors (such as aversion to pork). I find this a bit discomforting as it appears to actually be FORCING stereotypes.

So what if a character offhandedly mentions that they are Jewish at a Christmas party? As a Reconstructionist Jew myself, that would be the exact length to which I would discuss it, unless someone makes a conversation out of it. This may only be because I come from a melting-pot society, but people generally interact in non-religiously-affiliated ways during their day-to-day. If a character didn\'t do anything stereotypically Jewish during the big Space Battle, then I don\'t see anything wrong with that. Even if a character\'s family is met, and the only thing remotely indicative are mezuzah on the doorframes, I see no problem with that.
