The original Star Wars had a powerful female character in it - Princess Leia !

She was feminine so she was a good character.

Instapundit cites all the women who have been shaping the Star Wars franchise going all the way back to Marcia Lucas, George’s then wife.

One big problem with going for “historic firsts” is that the beneficiaries forget that they really aren’t “historic firsts.”

New Star Wars director says ‘it’s about time’ a woman shapes what remains of an already destroyed franchise to reflect modern values with pastel colored costumes, non-white actors speaking Esperanto and Ebonics, with children in thrall to adults of varying sexes and sexual outlooks. Just for starters, mind you.

Princess Leia had power over men because she was smoking hot.


The new "powerful female character" will probably be a bull-dyke Stacey Abrams clone.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy:

If you thought Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend was bad ....

Leia and Mon Mothma from the original trilogy. Mon Mothma was the civilian HEAD of the Rebellion.

I saw her in an outdoor adventure TV show with Bear Grylls. She seemed really nice.

On account of Carrie Fisher is now dead ... And I’m sure you’ll be every bit as good looking at 85 as you were at 25 ...

Oh great. So we are going to have a Star Wars movie where the women sit around and complain about the toxic masculenity in the Empire.

I have gotten that impression from watching interviews, as well. Coincidentally, she’s an MMA fighter first, not an actress.

I’ve gotten similar impressions of others ... R. Lee Ermey, for example. Sure, if he was your DI he was probably a bastard (or at least the recruits thought so) but I got the impression that outside that context, he’d have been a great friend or neighbor.

That's what the Alienses franchise was.

The lesson should be to create a world that is consistent with your vision; don't steal someone else's creation and then twist it to your liking.
