Would be on board if it's Mara Jade. But most likely it will be a black transgender "woman."

There is actually something which trumps Feminism in current media tho they are often paired.

Race.

...female-centered Star Wars series...

I think I've already seen this on one of my porn sites. Well, off to research I go....

What I find funny is that Star Wars was the ultimate nerd fantasy that happened to also be a heroic fantasy that appealed to everyone except anemic film critics. But there were also enough dork-fish elements elements that to be invested in it made you a total nerd and, basically, something of a social pariah.

But...it made SO MUCH frakkin’ money that EVERYONE wanted a piece of that action...

And so, ever since, everyone with a grievance had to see themselves in Star Wars—because Star Wars is seen by everyone and you have to inclusive and fsntasys are for everyone and... To the point where it’s now a woke SJW activist’s dream and of fading interest to most everyone else.

Charlie Angels meets Star Wars... sounds like a disaster.

Headland co-created Russian Doll with star Natasha Lyonne and Amy Poehler.

Can someone explain to me Amy Poehler's alleged popularity?

Disney bought Star Wars because they saw the potential to be a perennial profit maker. However after they tried their hands at it, they so badly screwed up the legend and storyline that they lost at least 70% of the hardcore fans.

For myself I only watched up to THE LAST JEDI, and I give it a rating of 5 Barf Bags.

I've rather re-watch the entire collection 7 seasons of the Clone Wars Cartoons than another Last Jedi.

The writers put so much crap in it that it hurts my mind watching it.

Anyways after all is said and done, Disney + Star Wars is a lesson on how some good things must be left alone, even if someone offers you a fortune for it.

But hey, George Lucas got a very nice payday of $4 Billion.

And thats not bad for a lifetime's work.

I can imagine Disney's offerings now as including a sitcom series about a group of stormtrooper cadets, like Friends, or maybe a show modeled on Glee, but set on a magical planet where everyone changes gender in midseason.

I can almost feel it in my bones, but Disney is gonna be pushing the GLBT lifestyles in the next ones.

Who wants to prove me wrong?

Watched “Star Wars” and “Empire” with kids this weekend. Absolute masterpieces. The prequels and sequels are depressing dreck next to them. They already made the series “female-focused” and destroyed it.

They're still pushing the "combat girl" myth for some stupid reason.

Sorry - very few actually exist, almost unicorn territory.

But they'll keep pushing that until somebody actually believes it.

The showrunner is a “married” lesbian.

Star Wars is being ruined. It used to be wonderful for families. Not any more.

I don’t care about race, gender, sexuality, etc. I want a good story that leaves out all of that stuff because, quite frankly, none of it fits in a Star Wars show.

Until they learn to write compelling stories without political agendas, they’ll never recapture the magic of the original movies.

Sounds to me like Disney executives have no reason or accountability and can flush away a few hundred million down the toilet like it doesn’t mean a thing.

Waiting 10 or 15 years between trilogies was smart.

A flood of movies just cheapens the franchise.
