I'm merely pointing out that having a maternal trilogy (in the same sense that the OT is a paternal trilogy) is a possibility and one that need not be rubbish.

I find the resolution of ROTJ actually rather sexist as it stands.

I actually think this is a really, really bad idea...I see where you're coming from with the political correctness and everything, but people don't want to see a maternal Star Wars Trilogy- they want action and romance and adventure like the Errol Flynn movies or the Buck Rogers serials with the damsel in distress, saved in the nick of time.  To me that is what Star Wars is about- a throwback to a "more civilized age."

It's hard to get the same perspective now because Star Wars is just another "old movie" but even when it came out in the 70s, it was deeply nostalgic in its story and its execution.
