And yet people still whine about the ST being “SJW” this and “Feminazi” that. Just like people are bitching about DW having an “agenda” now.
and I am sure that every single person that is upset with the ST is upset for only one reason: a female lead. Yeah, right.
Also, neither Leia nor Padme were the leads in their trilogies.
come on, both were major stars in their trilogies. One can argue that Leia outranked both Luke and Han in the Rebellion. Padme was the leader of a whole planet and a Senator.
Similarly to how DW has had strong female characters for decades in companions like Barbara, Liz Shaw, Sarah Jane, Ace, Amy Pond, and so on and so forth, but God forbid you cast a woman in the lead role…
They didn’t just cast a women, they turned a character that had been make for over 50 years into a female. They didn’t do it for the sake of the show, they did it for PC reasons, and they are clearly now marketing the show to the more feminist minded people and old time fans like me are probably no longer wanted. (because I’m a pig)
