Complaining about women in Star Wars?
Leia? Padme? Both are central characters to both trilogies. Daisy Ridley being cast as a prominent character is literally nothing at all different to Carrie Fisher or Natalie Portman.
As for John Boyega's casting, Abrams didn't just cast him "because he is black", Abrams cast him because he wanted to work with him after Attack the Block. Turns out that Boyega is actually a pretty damn good actor and landed the role. But hey, lets complain about these black people turning up for whatever reason, because black people have never been in Star Wars before. Right?
Can you tell me how the movies have been altered? What is the difference between Finn being white or black? What changes if Rey is suddenly a man?
