Lets not be stupid about this.
Yes Starwars is 100% ment to be for the guys.
That is okay.

There are plenty of things that target women, that guys don't enjoy.
Why is it bad that guys have their own thing?

You clearly did not understand what I am saying.

There is a difference between the concern being that you don't have enough content for you, and when you have to go out of your way to exclude other people.  

I'm not sure how many ways I can say that.

 he hates women.... 

And again, this is what I'm talking about. 

You guys for some bizarre reason want to go out of your way to being stepped on.  

A bad sequel is probably just a bad sequel, but instead you guys want to imagine a universe where the film makers got together to collectively hate you.  

Execs frequently want to expand their userbase, and a lot of times that means appealing to people that they currently don't. That doesn't mean that they despise the old fanbase - and it certainly can happen that they make a misstep and end up losing both their user base and the people they're trying to expand appeal to. 

But that's not the same thing as hating their user base.

"When you act like Star Wars is "supposed" to be targeted towards men, that's a problem. "

Gender rolls are real.
If I told you a story was about Mid-evil Knights, that have swords of light, that run around decapitating one another.... in space, on big space ships.
Its a story about good vs evil, honor and doing the right thing. 

You don't automatically think "Wow the women love stories like that, I bet it will be a big hit with the ladies!".

Yeah, because women didn't watch Game of Thrones, and they don't watch Star Wars. 

 

Gender roles are largely a cultural invention, that shifts. Plenty of female dominated things used to be male dominated things, and vice versa.

There are several surveys that show that the fanbase of Star Wars is about 60/40.  40% are women.
