Funny how you are quite willing to use examples of things that have never actually materialized in any sort recognizable way on screen, and only actually been said by people away from the context of the movies, yet you're willing to write off George Lucas' statements away from the context of the movie. Listen man, there's plenty to not like about these new Star Wars movies, but the truth is you're going out of your way to find more things to hate. 

This thread is the first time in my life where I heard about characters being gay and pansexual and who knows what else. Does Finn ever acknowledge being black or is it ever mentioned in any way (ala Black Panther main villain)?  Is the fact Rey is a girl ever mentioned? I really don't recall.

Hell, I'm personally against pushing agendas for the sake of it, but all of these SJW conspiracy is really stretching it, to say the least.

I cant name a single thing Rey has ever done that made me look up to her or admire her. She is the literal definition of lazy agenda writing and is by far the biggest Mary Sue I've ever seen in films. She has no qualities of a great Jedi. She has done absolutely nothing to earn her skills, and yet she can somehow pilot an old clunker and get a triple kill in one shot. She has no training and can beat the greatest Jedi who ever lived. She isn't necessarily pushing agenda directly, but she's so lazily fleshed out that it gives the audience a perceived notion that she's only good at everything BECAUSE she's a woman. I wont complain about Finn because unlike Rey he has an intriguing backstory and could've been strong and interesting as a character if Episode VIII wasn't so terribly fleshed out. Finn isn't a victim to laziness because unlike Rey he had a proper setup. Rey always had these powers that were beyond human, but they are confirmed to come from nowhere. Rey could have been an interesting character, but she has no proper backstory and has not earned anything (that and her actor gives very terrible comebacks to try and 'combat' these claims). 

If you want a good female character in Star Wars, Leah is basically the textbook example, but I'd even include Asokah from the Clone Wars. They are great and powerful, but them being the woman isn't the sole reason for their existence. I would also say the same would work vice versa if Rey was a male. If you want to put a woman in a lead role, that's great and more power to you, but please for the love of God don't let them be so powerful solely because they're a woman.
