Star Wars is catering for girls… it’s called Forces of Destiny. The zero budget flash animation/doll commercial. Everything else is pure lip service. They cast a wider net with the most recent stuff and the casting is done differently, sure. But broadening the demographic is different from when they actually try and please a particular group directly. See also: the 90s toyline that featured female characters wearing cloth outfits. Low effort, low return, same old. Girls have always liked SW obviously, but that’s not the same thing. Mega-corporations cater to what will sell and what sells rarely changes.

Ive seen those. I just felt like w/reylo in the movie it felt like a super obvious young adult romance for girls. And I enjoyed it. :x Im a… NERD oh my GOD…

When Kathleen Kennedy wears a t-shirt that says “The Force is Female”, you can safely assume they’re trying to market Star Wars directly to women.

Some think it’s straight-up anti-male. I don’t think it’s intentionally trying to make men look bad, but I do think they dumbed down the men rather than lifted up the women, and it’s to the detriment of all characters. My complaints are with overall character development and inconsistencies in the universe, but that’s probably not something that most casual viewers would find problematic.

You might want to check out this thread:

Culture, politics, and diversity in Star Wars

The discussion gets a bit testy in spots, though.

Just curious: when you say you’re watching them “in order”, do you mean release order (Eps. IV/V/VI followed by Eps. I/I/III) or story order (I/I/III/IV/V/VI)?

Im watching them in this order, I started with Rogue one first and then A New Hope, ect…

Original triology
Episode 4-A New Hope(1977)
Episode 5-Empire Strikes Back(1980)
Episode 6-Return of the Jedi(1983)

Prequel triology
Episode 1-A Phantom Menace(1999)
Episode 2-Attack of the Clones(2002
Episode 3-Revenge of the Sith(2005)

Sequel triology
Epiosde 7-The Force Awakens(2015)
Episode 8-The Last Jedi(2017)…and so on

Is this right? lol. I only got into the series because of that shirtless scene with Kylo… I am complete casual fangirl trash.

Everyone is free to enjoy Star Wars in their own way 😃

That’s the order I’d watch them in (minus going with Rogue One first, but I don’t think that really spoils anything). Which ones have you watched so far?

I started the series with The Force Awakens, then The Last Jedi, now I’m watching it in order correctly starting with Rogue one, then A New Hope, the Empire Strikes Back, and the one I’m on currently is Return of The Jedi.

Im not a Star Wars fan, but I was ok with watching the new ones. Im watching them all in order now, and the older ones are so… god, the dialogue is so campy. So i noticed, it definitely is a male power fantasy story for guys and yea that’s fine., When I watched the new ones with rey though, I was surprised like, holy crap, this is something I, a girl would definitely like. And definitely Kylo. And I feel like they very much know what they’re doing with Rey/Kylo being a ship lol. Why is star wars suddenly catering to girls now? Im just wondering is all.
