So⌠another female hero? Why? We have a young chick as the lead character in the new trilogy.
She seems to know how to handle herself. I donât know if you were privy to this information but strong and competent woman are known to be in Star Wars. Leia, Rey, Darth Zannah, Darth Cogness, Asajj Ventress, Lumiya etc.
No clue who Darth Zannah, Lumiya or Darh Cogness are, but thatâs not my point. I think itâs not a wise âdramaticâ 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. Itâs like if every Star Trek show had a young overacting Canadian playing the captain. I just hope her sidekicks wonât be a young black guy and a âcuteâ non-humanoid droid.
Just in case you didnât know.
I hate that they simply use the nostalgic factor instead of doing something new. Hey look - the Death Star. AGAIN. Oh look - Star destroyers. I remember those from my childhood. Oh look - the boring woman from Episode 6 - I sort of remember her. I remember all those things, so I guess I have a reason to go see the movie it and buy some toys, sorry, I meant âaction figuresâ, right?
WellâŚif this is set right before STAR WARS why wouldnât they have the classic imagery?
Well but thatâs the whole problem - the ONLY reason theyâre doing it as a E4 prequel is that they want to use pre-existing things well known to the general public. Itâs a business decision, not an artistic decision. Thatâs the whole reason why these spin-off movies do exist.
But still - theyâre successful. They got me exactly as they got everybody else.
