>>7909917>people complain about her>when Mon Mothma had 2 minutes of on-screen dialog, barely more screen time and did nothing but give a speech until the EU gave er more focusRemember that rant Lucas went on about forcing Kenner to make Leia action figures? He couldn't be bothered himself to have more "female" presence than her, frankly. He wanted the toy made for merchandise money. Beru is barely there and is killed, Jabba's dancers were background filler. Between the few women and one black guy, Lucas was one of those douches who acted like he was being "progressive" with minimal effort, because he didn't actually give a shit.
Neither does anyone at Disney or Lucasfilm now. They shove in shit at random, acting like they're being so modern when the bad character stereotypes & poor writing show they know fuck-all about anything that isn't white, but they think it will sell just because. Holdo was clueless, Rey has no personality, Rose was there to be Asian. Finn is "black character is in the main cast, now love us". It's like a movie series made by people who want to not be seen as racist or sexist when they probably are to some degree.
