Basically, Star Wars has become GIRL POWER!!! Each new movie has featured the theme of the women straightening out/saving the Galaxy Far, Far Away from the mess men made of it.

Leia is really the brains and savior of the entire Galaxy. She is above her disillusioned Jedi Master brother who just bolted when the going got tough. A brother that made a mess of the force and botched the hard won victory over the Empire. She is the ex-wife of a smuggler that evidently never grows up. She is the mother of a whiny, ADD son who went off the rails. That poor woman is just saddled with useless men!!!

And of course we have the prequel “Rogue One” featuring a woman who manages to straighten out the entire Rebellion, call them to unity and really really really was the important person behind the entire blowing up the Death Star thingy. Her and, of course, Leia.

Followed next by the Last Jedi where we meet Luke only to discover that he is your typical bitter, lost soul Jedi Master who needed a woman, of course, a woman, to come and remind him of his sense of duty and straighten his arse out. I mean, it took him training with Master Yoda to learn the force. The chick, she just got it by magically touching a lightsaber.

Don’t forget, we have Leia and Purple Haired Admiral Chick being the adults in the room. They saved the Rebellion from those heathen men who always have to be sooo macho. If only they would get in touch with their feelings. Of course, in saving the Rebellion, they managed to get most of them slaughtered.

And of course, we have “Solo” where the entire inspiration behind our hero was, you got it, a woman who he deserted so that he could escape. Of course, it was irrelevant because GIRL POWER!!! meant said woman did not need the help of some scruffy nerf herder. She becomes the brains behind the entire operation that allows Solo to get the Mellinium Falcon, etc.

There you go!!! Star Wars remade as a #MeTo vehicle. What is next, does Leia Galactically tweet that Solo was an abusive husband or does she talk about how Jabba the Hut got a bit too feely?

Wait, I know, a prequel about Obi Wan!!! Yes, after the fall of the Republic Obi Wan took up drinking and gambling, had a family and then deserted them. In the end, a strange and powerful woman shows up to remind him of his duty.
