Originally Star Wars main audience was nerdy boys and young men. That is who bought the Lego sets and other merchandise. Disney is producing products that cater to women and transexuals and turning off their core audience. I don’t think a software game with a female lead will be successful.

Boys cannot empathize with Female "Heroes." Boys want to imagine themselves as the hero, and if you make the hero female, you have just turned your core audience off to caring about what happens to your hero.

I did that subconsciously. Although Jennifer Lawrence was great in Hunger Games. That was a rare exception.
