It’s not a feminist movie.

That would be the last two or three. The point is, people don't want to support the franchise anymore because they are sick of the "Super Girl Ghostbusters in Space." and excessive "Vibrancy."

It is a protest vote for what "Star Wars" has become. Also did you miss the condescending feminist Robot?

She got blasted to smithereens, so I didn’t mind her that much. Thought she was obnoxious but funny. Turns out, though...she DID become the Falcon’s brains!

The L3 character was clearly a political thing, it wasn’t really needed and didn’t really work... Though it was used for comedy more than anything...

My probably biggest issue with that character was simply, why the hell would a droid have hips that sway? The producers clearly wanted an a “female” droid, which in and of itself makes no sense... but putting a female voice into a droid wasn’t enough we had to make it move like a woman which was dumb. I presume this was done for the implied pansexual stuff that got into the press.

Lets face it though, L3 is hardly the most annoying character in a star wars film... Jar Jar anyone? And unlike JarJar, she is short lived... and honestly other than the way too personal reaction by Lando to L3’s death, I would have written all of the characters actions as simply the droid was self delusional... Pansexuality would not have entered my consciousness had it not been in the press, and the far to personal reaction Lando had to the characters death.

SO it clearly was a political message.. but without Lando’s reaction, would have simply chalked it up to this droid is self delusional.
