Disney is in a strange spot of constantly having to meet parents demands.Quote:

I don't envy them being as big as they are and having to try and cater to every single asshole/focus group.
They don't have to though. Disney is far more PC than any of their competitors, so where are these idiots going to take their dollars if Disney doesn't kowtow?
They are just capitalizing on their audience. They have enough properties now to cater to everyone including weird alien fetishes.
What's not to like about a bad ass, strong, female lead. It's not like we aren't going to get any Star Wars films with male leads. We have the Han Solo solo film coming up. And aren't there talks of an Obi Wan and Boba Fett spin offs as well?
I have no issue with them from the Ellen Ripley / Lara Croft standpoint, because they weren't developed as a response to focus groups. I don't think this trailer would have struck a nerve either, had we not already heard about Episode VIII being re-written because of that type of nonsense.
edit: Back to the Bothans, there's a distinct lack of any non-humans in this trailer.
edit2: Back to Chux' point, why are kids / general audience movies gender-targeted in the first place? There are probably literally millions of women who loved the original Star Wars trilogy without any focus group bullshit.
Because this is the climate of pussies that's been created. It's the same reason Blazing Saddles couldn't be made today.Quote:

Participation Trophy.
I don't mind a strong female lead. It's just that this one looks and sounds just like Rey and seems to be a loner bad-ass who's good at everything just like Rey was too. :rolleyes:
It's a minute-long teaser. I'm sure some Muppets will be revealed soon.Quote:
