>The new novel Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray includes a passage that heavily implies the character Amilyn Holdo (played by Laura Dern in The Last Jedi) is bisexual, which would make her the first openly LGBT individual seen onscreen in a Star Wars film. Diversity and representation is a hot button topic in the film industry these days, and Lucasfilm has been at the forefront of promoting it in big budget tentpoles.
>In the book (which is set prior to the events of A New Hope), there is a moment where Leia and Holdo are having a conversation, joking about the possibility of an interspecies relationship: >“A pair of pretty dark eyes.” Then Amilyn thought about that for a moment. “Or more than a pair, if you’re into Grans. Or Aqualish, or Talz. Or even – ” >“That’s all right! Leia said through laughter. “It’s just humanoid males for me.” >“Really? That feels so limiting.” >“Thank goodness it’s a big galaxy.”
>Diversity and representation is a hot button topic in the film industry these days
Why?
Also coincidentally the movie biz has never seen dire straits this bad. Really makes you think.

That does not compute

Holy shit, a character is implied to be gay in a side novel? this is just as bad as, if not worse than, having a flamingly gay character have gay sex before getting gay married before enacting a gay agenda on the big screen as i shovel popcorn into my face

Here come the triggered alt-right manbabies to cry about a line in a book only a few thousand people will ever read. But you're totally not homophobic or anything, right guys?
Levi Scott
Well the new movies are shit so it doesn't surprise me it can get worse.
Oliver Edwards
You forgot about the first gay character in Star Wars.
Alexander Anderson
She's also one of the villains, but I guess the triggersquad won't take that into account.
Kayden Baker
You've seen the movie already, pal?
Andrew Kelly
No, just the script.

>Holdo fucks Leia >Leia dies because of it as its actress is dead anyways >Gay sex is a cause of death in SW universe

Joshua Miller
Really, where is it?
Christian Reyes
Whenever I see Lucasfilm or Marvel in writing nowadays, I just replace it with Disney in my head.
Samuel Gutierrez
Reddit and other forums. It isn't at all talked about anymore because people fell for the "it's fake lmao" meme just like with GoT S7.
Liam Jones
Doesn't that suggest she's just as likely to be into beastiality
Jack Roberts
there are dozens of leaked script, it's impossible to know the truth except the fact that is copying ESB and it will be dogshit
Joseph Howard
Laura Dern looks rough.
Poor thing.

>in a galaxy with hermaphroditic frog people that sword joust with their dicks and shove micro asteroids up their assholes to stimulate ovulation >a human being attracted to the same sex is a big deal
