Is Star Wars catering to girls now?

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.

Welcome JediKnightFay , and no , the force is female shirt that Kathleen Kennedy wore had nothing to do with Lucasfilm and the new movies , it was a completely separate campaign for Nike which you can read about here …http://boards.theforce.net/threads/the-truth-about-the-force-is-female.50049374/

I’m half-way through the video and think I’ll be giving the Council Of Geeks more a watch on that - thanks for the heads-up mate 😃
 

This may be of interest (I only watch/listen to a few youtubers) - though found his 7 minute video on clickbait, and this specific incident, to be quite illuminating:-

The Misguided Uproar Over International Solo Posters - Last Week in Clickbait - by Star Wars Explained

Hey , sorry for the delayed response on this , I seem to have lost this one in the shuffle . Yeah, that guy is one of my favorite Star Wars youtubers next to HelloGreedo and I feel like he has a genuine love for the material and the profit motive for him is secondary unlike a lot of the recent reactionaries that have come out of the woodwork in the past year .Thanks or sharing .

that gif is awesome ! would be cool to see something like that .and as to the animation , I did something similar to that a while back , really simple cheesy animation with a text to speech engine called Cepstral that was free and in beta at the time , as well as sound effects and sound bites from the movie for the first issue of the marvel star wars comic …https://vimeo.com/6330569

<em>Solo: A Star Wars Story</em> — Official Review and Opinions Thread — <strong>SPOILERS</strong>
Time

I have seen Solo twice now and very much enjoyed the nods to the early novels and comics , I like that they were there to add flavor and character to the movie and did not call a lot of attention to themselves , a few of them ,I missed on the first viewing , such as the Dancing Goddess statue in Dryden’s office from the original Marvel comics .And from the beginning , I figured Qi’ra would betray Han in some way as her character reminded me a lot of Bria Tharen from the A.C. Crispin Han Solo novels , though her betrayal there was to use him to help the cause of the rebellion.

I have that HelloGreedo video saved to my favorites , I think he is spot on ! I saw it shortly after he posted it , I was also concerned about people bashing Kathleen Kennedy and came across this video a couple weeks later … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ttS7IupC5E and then a day after I viewed it, the whole thing with Kellie Marie Tran was in the news.
