Star Wars universe Wonder Woman, having discovered insta-Force.

Sorry Frink I didn’t mean to open up old wounds and rekindle the Mary Sue debate, I myself was responding to Dre’s comment above. That comment launched it. I don’t like the Mary Sue stuff, I think its tedious and it is emboldening a certain section of fandom that I would rather not embolden.

Yeah, Wonder Woman is a DC super hero. I could hardly call her Superman, since she is…a woman. I don’t like my Star Wars protagonists to be super heroes, who like Spider-Man, who was bitten by a radio-active spider, instantly gets super human powers. I call that insta-Force. I want my Star Wars protagonists to work for it, and struggle. It has nothing to do with her being a woman. That’s something you brought into the discussion.
