people are not blaming them for being women… they are calling out their affirmative action posture to over rotate and try to push females for the sake of gender representation
Everyone knows those characters. The blue lady is exclusive!How do you not promote this with a Vader ad, a Skywalker ad, Yoda, heck capitalize off of the Mandalorian craze. R2, 3PO. You know. Actual Star Wars characters.
No. Just give us very bland characters that nobody has any emotional connection with - and set it in a Nickelodeon “Teens in Space” backdrop. And we’re good. That should “sell” us on 6k for 2 nights.
From what I’ve seen over the past few weeks I’m getting a Mystery Science 3000 vibe.
They didn't go from 20% female representation to 80%. They stopped at 50%.people are not blaming them for being women… they are calling out their affirmative action posture to over rotate and try to push females for the sake of gender representation
Wow, created an account just to say you don't want to be here? What seems false about that? One post - sheesh!Yikes! Came over here to get peoples opinions on Starcruiser. Too much sexism talk. Lame. Going back over that other site, lol.

Last I checked, 50% of the population is female.
But some like to make hay that the jump from 20% to 50% is a 150% increase in female representation!!! Yeah, it's a lot... if you ignore the previous underrepresentation.
Sorry, didn't know that galaxy was a men's club in real life.Overall population percentages mean very little in story telling unless you are actually trying to represent the general population.
50% of the world maybe female, but if I'm trying to make a piece about Samari... you won't be winning any 'correct representation' arguments with putting more women as samari.. or as sailors in a WWII ship. Etc.
When you put affirmative action above story - that's when it stands out and usually causes friction. That's what they've done in Star Wars and we know so because they've flat out told us they were intentionally promoting their intents.
Who knows... but we do know they weren't trying to correct an inbalance, but were in fact trying to instead promote strong female characters and increase representation for the affirmative action angle, not the 'story' angle.Sorry, didn't know that galaxy was a men's club in real life.

Telling a story of a world where one presumes half the population is female, and then leaving them mostly left out, is, I would say, the true artifice here.Who knows... but we do know they weren't trying to correct an inbalance, but were in fact trying to instead promote strong female characters and increase representation for the affirmative action angle, not the 'story' angle.
Marcia Lucas edited the movie and should be given a lot of credit for the success it achieved. We don’t hear much about her because George effectively erased her from Lucasfilm after the divorce. That is far different than saying that she created the SW world and esthetic. She did not, but she absolutely influenced the first film and helped it become the success it was.I've only seen three humanoid roles in the PR Disney released in the past month; the Captain, the bartender, and the pre-boarding message from the lady with the dots on her forehead. What are the other two, and what pre-opening videos were they in?
That's exactly my criticism; that Captain doesn't look noble. She looks like a smirky valet parking attendant. In space.
I saw Star Wars in 1977 at the Cinerama Theater in downtown Seattle. It was a very memorable evening because the movie was tremendous. I remember the three people I went with, I remember my friend's giant white 1976 Cadillac we drove downtown in, I remember us crashing for several hours in the Westin lobby cocktail lounge down the block waiting for our showtime, and I remember loving the movie. Other than that fond memory, the Star Wars franchise is not really a part of my life any longer.
But I have never heard that Mrs. Lucas fixed the script for her husband. That's a cute story. But the movie spoke for itself. It was fabulous.
They should probably stop pretending it was created and designed almost exclusively by women then. They need to stop with the forced HR mandates and get some of the men who designed this project into the pre-opening PR so that these ladies don't have their careers ruined by what appears to be a tremendously awful product launch in a few months.

Anyone who watches the sequels and says, “Man, the problem here is that Rey is a girl” is just revealing their own deep-seated issues.No see.. you 'presume' something - while the rest of us are listening to what KK has gone on record saying their motivation was.
I have no idea what you are going on about. My post was about KK, her choices, and reasoning behind them. Conclusions supported by HER OWN WORDS.Anyone who watches the sequels and says, “Man, the problem here is that Rey is a girl” is just revealing their own deep-seated issues.
