No clue who Darth Zannah, Lumiya or Darh Cogness are, but that’s not my point. I think it’s not a wise “dramatic” decision to have a young female hero in the main movies and AT THE SAME TIME to have a young female hero as the lead character in the spin-off movie. It’s like if every Star Trek show had a young overacting Canadian playing the captain. I just hope her sidekicks won’t be a young black guy and a “cute” non-humanoid droid.Well my point was that gender doesn’t seem to matter when the character is competent so it doesn’t matter.
But now we get TFA which has a young woman as the main hero followed by Rogue One which has AGAIN a young woman as the main character. They’re just repeating the formula too soon - that’s the only thing which I was trying to say.
Well if it makes you feel any better Rouge One takes place WAAAAYY before TFA. So it’s not like it’s even close on the Star Wars timeline. And if we compare the gender of the leads in Star Wars films it’s actually equal. 2 Males and two Females.
I’m not saying it will not be a good film - I hope it WILL be a GREAT film. But I still am not happy they’re “trying to hit our nostalgia g-spot”. That doesn’t say I won’t enjoy it if it will be well written and well acted, that just mean I would prefer something new. Saying that I prefer apples to oranges doesn’t mean I don’t like oranges 😃
If it’s a good film and they don’t go overboard on the nostalgia milking like TFA did then I don’t see why them playing to our nostalgia would be a bad thing.
On a side note you’re not going to get anything that is completely alien to the OT unless they make an Old Republic film or if they make a film that takes place at least 100 years after ROTJ.
