1. The whole reason the Jedi order collapsed is because Anakin had a hard on for Natalie Portman.  And this wasn't an "I like you and want to have sex once to have a baby and move on" thing.  Anakin wanted to fuck the shit out of her.

2. And I guess there was a non-sexual reason to put a chain on Leia's neck and gold bikini on her? Jaba just always wanted to be a fashion designer or something. Was there a reason Empire Strikes back couldn't have been told without Leia in a gold bikini?  No? Are you ok with that scene?

3. There is nothing political about gay characters besides the fact that some backwards people want to make a political issue out of it. Basically, people get sticks in their asses about something that shouldn't be a problem in the first place.  Then you go "oh people have sticks in their asses about this, so it's too political and we can't have it without some special reason". 

 

1. I'm obviously not saying that the characters themselves got together just to have babies. I'm saying that the reason the romance was created in the first place was to explain Anakin's downfall/Darth Vader's creation and the origins of Luke and Leia. The chronology damands it.

Once again, people don't watch Star Wars for its ravishing love stories.

2. I always felt that the bikini part was out of place, just as I am opposed to the unnecessary nudity in recent Fire Emblem games and Game of Thrones. In any event, you can't possibly make the claim that a significant portion of the Star Wars audience watched Return of the Jedi for its sexual content.

3. If they wait 40 years before suddenly adding a gay character it is obvious that they do it for political reasons to promote acceptance or whatever, because sex and sexuality never seemed to matter in this galaxy far, far away ever before. Not once has a character ever even mentioned the word sexuality.

If a gay character is added it will only serve to detract from the core Star Wars experience and put sexuality on the board. People will then inevitably ask for other minorities to be represented in the name of "equality", no matter how out of place they would be. I would rather not make this an issue to begin with and keep politics out of Star Wars.

1.  Aside from Anakin and Padme, there is no reason for any other romantic subplot in the movies.  No reason for any romance between Han and Leia or Leia and Luke.

2.  I can't make that claim, and I didn't.  I can make the claim that not many people were upset about characters representing their sexuality, unless it is gay sexuality.

3.  Who is this "they" that waited 40 years?  None of the writers or directors that worked on force awakens worked on the original Star Wars, and the property was not even owned by the same people. 

Not once has a character ever even mentioned the word sexuality.

Lol.  I've watched plenty of pornos, and the word sexuality was not ever even mentioned.  I guess there's no sexuality in porn. XD 

4.  You are absolutely dead wrong that there's no sexuality on the board.  Just blatantly as wrong as could possibly be.  Characters having a romantic interest in each other IS sexuality.  Luke drooling over Leia's hologram is sexuality.  Luke kissing Leia is sexuality.  Luke kissing Han is sexuality.  Leia saying she loves Han is sexuality. 

Heterosexuality has been there for the very begining.  Never been an issue.  Now when it's gay sexuality, there's suddenly a problem.  

 I would rather not make this an issue to begin with and keep politics out of Star Wars.

Being gay is not being polical.  Being straight is not being political.  Having a straight character is not political.  Having a gay character is not political.  It's only political when people with sandy vaginas (or sandy penises to be politically correct) make it a political issue.  Don't bitch about it, and it's not an issue.

 

Do you think there should  be seperate standards for portraying gay characters than ther are for straight characters?  If no, you should have no problem with gay characters in Star Wars.  If yes, you have a problem with gay characters. Simple question.
