Out of all things, why feminize Star Wars?

I don't understand this. Why push most male fans away? Boys are the ones that buy all of the Star Wars merch, spending shit tons of money between figures and video games.They set up AT-AT battles with action figures, recreating scenes. I can't see this Disneyfied Star Wars fad lasting as long as the time from 1977 to 2005. Why would Disney push this agenda on Star Wars? It makes no sense.

Propaganda works best when it's in something that's popular and that people already loved

how did they push away male fans? there are still male lead actors, a han solo spin-off planned, and a cartoon with a male lead. not to mention there was an iconic female lead in the original trilogy in the form of leia.

but if it you really don't understand why they have only barely begun to include women in their overall goal, then you have no idea how business works

Yeah I have no idea how business works. That's why all of Hasbro's Star Wars toy sales are the lowest it's ever been at. Once they start jamming more of this shit down everyone's throats and people start noticing by Episode 9 then it will really it them. Which I hope it does.

Who the fuck buys toys now?

Kids play with tablets and phones now, not toys.

People don't actually have a problem with a non-white male lead right? That's just a Sup Forums shitposting thing right? Right?

Guys?

why delude yourself into one specific, niche market when you can open a franchise up to a wider demographic? disney does not care what the star saga ends up up looking like at the end of its run. all that matters is how high the profit margin is (which will be in the billions by the end) once they decide to cash out after the first failure and move on to the next franchise.

lucas foresaw all this when he refered to the mas white slavers.

Finn's story was 100 times more interesting than Rey's. I would have no problem with either as the lead if Disney wasn't so blatant about their agenda.

>how did they push away male fans?

shilling this hard

heatst.com/entertainment/lucasfilm-president-says-she-doesnt-need-to-cater-to-male-star-wars-fans/

No idea...

>Female lead
>Feminization
Are you like actually retarded?

Also to your toy sales: How about you wait until the fucking movie comes out when the kids actually see the characters they're already selling. Who knows, one of those aliens-things will be the second coming to nerds and children but we can't know until we see the movie.

>Ultimately, this leads us to what makes The Force Awakens so special; the effect the trio will have on the younger generation. A woman is a Jedi in training, a Black man is a Resistance fighter and a Latino man is the greatest pilot in the galaxy. More importantly, they all helped each other fulfill these roles. The sky is the limit for these characters, and the sky should be the limit for the children watching too.

...

all of cognitive dissonance and denial, sad

see

Take a little trip to Google and read about Kennedy's comments then come back and talk. Jesus fuck, some of you people are really dumb.

so felicity jones is now the overseer or disneys plan for the next 10 films? its marketing like anything else you fucking dolt. (it just happens to be the hot topic at the moment.) people will forget about the feminist angle the moment the solo spin-off preview is released. and by that time the female demographic will be invested in as well. its like you people genuinely believe a billion-dollar company really cares about the feelings of feminists.

...

all of this short-sighted view of things. pathetic.

they arent pushing male fans away

that isnt what they said

they just know they dont have to appeal to the male portion of the fanbase because you retards will see it anyway. you sat through the prequels, you sat through episode 7 and you will sit through the next few.

It's literally always been like that.

Leia was the only woman in the whole movie in New Hope but she still had a level of importance. Shit when they're rescuing her she's barking out orders to Luke and Han and openly critiquing their plan

In Empire we see her directly ordering and hyping up rebels. Then we see good guys that aren't white.

Return had more of that and Mon Montha, the chick in the white robes.

Also something to note is: The Empire is unironically Hitler's Aryan vision. They aren't any colored, women, or aliens. The Rebels are everyone else who doesn't fit the bill.

somebody call up Sup Forums. they'd be more effective.

I love having SJW political propaganda shoved down my throat by 90% of every movie and TV show produced nowadays. It's wonderful!

>WW2 in space
>theyre supremicists

color me fucking suprised

yes, it's exactly the same, user

thank you for your unbiased input on this matter

>3 years ago white men refusing to see a movie because it had a handful of women and non-whites was only a blatant strawman used by SJW's and feminists to decry a non-existent patriarchy
>today it's what internet non-liberals actually believe and vocally defend
congrats on going full retard and proving the SJW's right assholes. You win identity politics battles by rising above them, not by embracing all of the over-the-top nonsense you're accused of

The injection of propaganda in products that will sell like hotpockets anyway is sadly the best and unrivaled tactic of the left, there's nothing that can be done about it other than conservatives somehow infiltrating into top hollywood decision making. The only consolations are that it's not enough to get their candidates elected, and when they try to make their 100% feminist products it flops because people can only handle their ideology in small doses(see: Ghostbusters).

Shortsightedness. Disney's embrace of diversity is purely because it's in vogue right now.

exactly! why would they cater to male fans when they know they have that demographic on lock?

no matter how much flack they get for including females in the game, they know males will still pay 4 times to see the films. its all about making sure they get females to do the same.

i agree user. people shouldn't question agendas in our media. i'm going to go buy 6 tickets tomorrow! thank you for your unbiased input.

Confirmed for not even watching a star wars movie.

Go fuck yourself with razorblades user

>they know males will still pay 4 times to see the films

Or will they?

Only Nazis won't go see this movie!

You're not a Nazi, are you?

>being a conservative
kill yourself

No one. Finn was one of best part.

Except ofc
>I will not kill anybody
>ends up killing his m8s

what was the point of posting this?

That Clinton got destroyed.

And one of white guys-villains is вcpaткa?
Disney really makes me think.

What is wrong with female protagonist?

See the post it replied to, genius.

How do people not see through Disney's shit though? How are people this weak minded?

Nothing if it's not done on purpose for an agenda

We now know it's been done for an agenda

Better than a leftist, you statist fuck

welcome to current year

how did ieven allude to clinton? some argument kid

What agenda?

HesMyPresident though, just want to make sure you got that.

I'll watch it but I won't pay for it

complain all you want but youre only looking at what is directly in front of you.
a franchise doesnt stay worth a billion dollars by listening to the deluded anger of a small majority. it does so by filling in as many seats as possible. and theres a lot of disenfranchised girls in geek culture practically begging to throw their money at something.

>make a single lead character a woman
>HOLY SHIT THEY'RE FEMINIZING THE WHOLE THING
Jesus fucking christ, you people practically prove SJWs points.

>The Empire is unironically Hitler's Aryan vision
You dumby. The Empire's ideology was closer to the USSR than Nazi Germany. George just thought the Nazi aesthetic was more threatening than the commie one.

Why do you think all these modern commies are trying so hard to retroactively turn the Empire into a Nazi analog?

To push "gender equality", which actually means "gender equity"

why should i give a fuck? profit is the real decider, left or right. grow up.

Cant really disagree on that. Finn is a role model for many black kids theres no doubt about that. Also girls can identify with Rey easily

Fuckin slack-jawed, inbred, millennials.

>Make female lead
>it's a Mary Sue

Don't be a moron.

>put a female lead in for the reason of gender equity

If you can't see the propaganda they're giving you, then you should really go back and look at various socialist states, and also Nazi Germany (a socialist state); they use the exact same propaganda

Isn't she like the only female character?

did you get triggered by having to relive election night again, or something?

point was, my low iq friend, that the post it replied discounted males, white males in particular. that didn't work out so great for hillary. it may not work out so great for hollywood in the coming years as you will see.

people are getting sick of entertainment and news media sjw propaganda bullshit.

>They aren't any colored, women, or aliens

????????????????????

How is Finn a role model? He was running away from his problems the whole movies. He would complain non-stop, needed Rey to help him, espeically by taking his hand when she didn't need his, every time he got in trouble. I'd be pissed off if that was suppose to be my role model growing up.

>2 Star Wars movies
>2 female leads
>One is a Mary Sue (Luke was flawed)

They're batting 100 percent so far

Even with a Han movie, they're still batting 2/3rds on purpose

see the writers and producers own words, dipstick

but what about all those empire soldiers han solo tricked when he stole the holy grail?

see
yes because every white male will rise up against the disney oppressor for not including them on the escapist fantasy and stop going to the movies. do you people really think disney wants a say in politics? of course not you narrow-minded fuck. its like you really think your vote mattered.

Whats funny too is that this retarded writer doesn't have a fucking clue about Disney's Star Wars that he completely forgot they've been putting black characters into the empire (pic related) for two years now. I wonder what Pablo Hidalgo thought when his work was basically for nothing when some dweeb writer accuses the empire as being white supremacist. This black female character in the pic is in the book "A New Dawn" I actually read it and now i'm thinking of dropping this franchise

If it's not in the movies nobody gives a fuck

>do you people really think disney wants a say in politics?
Are you baiting this hard or just really stupid/naive?

Because at this point the franchise has already thoroughly embedded itself into 'geek and nerd culture', meaning these demographics don't need to be catered to because the majority of people are shit eating plebeians that will gobble up whatever gets thrown at them Instead they look to cater to other audiences, like young liberal youth that don't have nostalgia for the franchise. It isn't any surprise that many of these things (gender/ race relations, white guilt) just happen to dominate the social consciousness of today's youth.

Disney canon

Because there were 6 movies already with male leads?

>many of these things (gender/ race relations, white guilt) just happen to dominate the social consciousness of today's youth

Hmm. I wonder what could be behind that?

>say there is no black, women or aliens in the empire
>get btfo
>b-b-ut nobody cares

Okay. You want films? Fine.

GEE LOOK AT THESE WHITE BOIS.

...

Fewer people buy toys, dumbass. You DON'T know how business works.

Zeitgeist.

What about Rebels then?

oy vey, not another one

my argument theyre playing gender politcs for the ploy of widening their demographic.

and you think what, the vocal minority in one country is going to stop worldwide profit machine? youve given me nothing but half-assed remarks on a bipartisan politics that will change nothing in the grand scheme of things. perhaps its time you start looking at the big picture child.

All of you retards say that Star Wars is based on toy sales. Toy sales decreased over the past year since TFA came out. They were booming a year before that. What gives? Drink bleach.

girls think the girl is cool
boys think the girl is cute

Is that a glib facsimile?

There's only a few hundred thousand.

What's your point?

I've always wondered about the casting choice of Temuera Morrison as Jango,

not because it's a bad choice by any means, he did a fucking great job being a standoffish, quiet badass type, and honestly him not being some other AAA actor on their lucky break at the time was even better.

I just don't know where he got the connection from with Lucas. I think it's just a stroke of luck.

Also I've met him, he's a really nice guy.

>perhaps its time you start looking at the big picture child.

Yea. It worked for Ghostbusters, right? What could go wrong?

>muh not movies
>muh slave class
every time

>people STILL can't see its the royal guard actor as the clones instead of temuera in this scene
I can't be the only one autistic to notice this right?
especially in episode 3 where we see jangos face on the pilot and commander guys

>no women, coloured or aliens
>okay here is a coloured woman
>nope lol not movies
>okay here is a coloured alien
>lol only a few hundred thousand who cares??

Fuck sake.

It's supposed to represent Jango as a young (cloned) man, autismo.

It worked for Hillary, r-r-right?

how about instead of moving those goalposts you shove em straight up your ass?

That was my next example when the guy was obviously going to say something stupid, I had to go look up the other program I can remember him from, Holby City I think.

Okay? Here is another one.

ok then but why is he played by the same guy as the royal guard with one eye

It's merely the jealousy of the malcontents. Some would call this the thermometer of success.

...

I didn't move anything. You were talking to somebody else.

I'm just saying the big picture isn't as clear as you seem to be suggesting.

Captain Typho was played by Jay Laga'aia.
The slightly younger than Jango clones were played by Bodie Taylor.
They do look quite similar though.

I miss the PT. Comfy and they seem like a work of genius compared to these new piles of shit.
