The reason that the new movies are more inclusive is that Star Wars is, by nature, a “boy” thing; lasers and spaceships and saving the universe from the bad guy in laser-sword on laser-sword combat. However, by making the main lead of the new movies female Disney is able to attract more girls to the series, without taking away the cool lasers and space-fights for the boys. Its such as simple thing to do and yet it can make the target audience so much broader without having to include many other female characters or sacrifice what made the series great in the first place. Whether or not Rey is a deep character (which so far, she may not be) is irrelevant, so I don’t know why you brought it up anyway. Kids have role models, who should personify positive morals and values. Little girls looking up to Rey is, in my opinion, way better than them looking up to dumb princess cartoon characters and brain-dead celebrities.
