    As a woman who also enjoyed Star Wars as a girl, I'll tell you how to interest girls in the story: make a good story. Add in a female character with good outfits and things to do. Preferably add in a romantic subplot, but make it believable or don't bother. And there you have it! Kind of like the original creators did.

      As a woman tell me if this is something you have noticed or not. But romance of almost any kind between a boy and a girl has practically been erased in like the last 5 or 10 years in most movies that are not specifically about romance as the main plot.
      Growing up, most movies always had a side plot of romance regardless of the genre. As a guy, this never bothered me at all. As a woman, did this annoy y'all when this happened?
      Like for example, 2 Keanu Reeves action movies. Speed and Point Break. Would you had rather the 2 lead actors stayed platonic and just remained friends or did you enjoy the romance between the 2 leads.
      For some reason romance in these types of movies have been cut out and I was just wondering if it's because women didn't want it in there anymore.

      The greatest equalizer is well-written stories that everyone loves and characters everyone loves. Old Star Wars was like that.

    Female Star Wars fan here. This is what we want...
    1. Well written story
    2. Well written characters
    3. Well written dialogue
    4. Excellent acting
    5. Hot guys that are written well
    6. Did I mention good writing?
    7. Not to be told that we have to like something because of our gender or the gender of the protagonist

    As a young woman, my message to all the young guys out there reading this: most of us aren't into this woke, man-hating material and wimpy guys. Some of us aren't into the bodice-ripper smut novels either. Leslie Headland doesn't speak for me, and neither do Sarah J Maas or Julia Quinn. Some of us like actual stories, with characters who grow, plots with stakes, and lessons that linger. I reject bitterness and misandry. I reject overemotionalism and smut. Give me the _Iliad_ , _Lord of the Rings_ , classic Star Wars, _1917_ or _The Chosen_ - strong male characters being brave. Give me Jane Austen, _The Sound of Music,_ the Queen's Thief series, and _Howl's Moving Castle_ - all of the romance with none of the tasteless sex stuff. Please don't mistake the rubbish of current year pop culture for the desires of all women. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

    • @RandomWandrer
      @RandomWandrer 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      I echo all this. And I'm a millennial woman, who apparently loves this sh*te. Nothing in this show for me. I didnt watch it and have steered my kids clear of it too.
      What do I want?! I want shows with stoic heroic chivalrous males, and brave (not overpowered) women who actually have to overcome the very real physical disadvantage of being female.
      I hate the messaging in these shows, telling my daughter that she was born powerful and perfect and smart, so instead of working on herself (as we all must do), she should simply fight for acknowledgement. And she shouldn't be wary of men's strength, because she can always kick their ass if needed. How bloody dangerous is this?
      And I wont let Disney tell my son that his job is to shut up, be the button of all jokes, and treat girls like they are infallible. My son is going to be a man. I dont care if he loves women or other men. But he is going to be a good man who takes care of his family. Not a doormat!

      Don't confuse men being condescending and talks-over-her dismissive of women as the same thing as an experienced person with any kind of skill, who happens to be a man, telling an ignorant layman, who happens to be a woman, why she can't ignore the laws of reality and build a functional boat out of cooked spaghetti in order to fly in it to the moon. The latter exists, and so does the former, and the latter does not justify the former -- nor does it justify pretending that the former does not exist or is not obnoxious and wrong.

If you haven't seen Javier Bardem's character in Skyfall I recommend you watch the movie. The character is apparently gay, but it has nothing to do with his motivations as a villain. His gayness is one of the many aspects of a multi-faceted character, whereas Disney's portrayal of gays is flat as F, and in films like David Lynch's Dune the gayness is part of the Baron's perverted persona.

    The thing is though Star Wars already has amazing characters that are women like Leia, Mon Mothma, Padme, Sabine, Ashoka and Jyn Erso.

      @TheSecretsOfSorsa 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't think that's true. Self inserts come from very ego-driven writers. I'm writing an epic fantasy series and the closest thing to a self insert in the whole series is a character who doesn't last very long. None of the main characters are anything like me. The three most important characters are a stoic hero, a wealthy girl, and an outgoing, friendly kid. I'm a hermit who writes. I don't behave or think like any of my characters and that's a big part of why the story is awesome. The characters keep doing things because of who they are and it's like I'm just learning about this world through them.
