>>5376601It...isn't impressive at all. There's been female troopers in Star Wars EU forever. Who gives a flying fuck? Abram's is a copycat, and doing that doesn't get him any more cred. It wasn't a big deal because it's a meaningless gesture, done in this "everyone's included" atmosphere we force ourselves to live in now.
But in reality...it doesn't matter. It's nothing new. We've had female troopers. They fit in. They did their thing. We liked them. And we didn't need fanfare for it.
