Reading the Empire as an allegory for the United States during the Vietnam War, having women as Stormtroopers in the First Order makes total sense.

The allegories for fascism are very very clear, but most modern iterations are more subtle about disregarding women and other minorities. “Women are in our movement therefore the our fascist group cannot be inherently bigoted!”

Even though I don’t think there’s much genuine intentional political commentary in the Disney-era films, I do think it improves them to read them allegoricaly.

TLDR: I wouldn’t agree with the choice to remove women-voiced stormtroopers
