I mean really - is there any reason to think that JJ Abrams is somehow going to save the Star Wars series from horribleness? After all his track record with Star Trek was borderline racist at best, and downright corporate and crass at worse.
Then look at what happened to Star Wars. No reference to the best screen villain Darth Vader at all (except for a broken helmet), and the hero of the original series - Luke Skywalker - is reduced to just being comic and emasculated fodder.
And what about that last film - completed with misandry all around? Look, I'm all for there being good female leads in films. I also am fine with presenting strong female characters. But ..
Must they always be white?
Must they always be made to succeed by trampling on every male character to begin with?
It's just like the the Ghostbusters reboot from 2016 - racism and misandry abound.
Perhaps it's really just time to take my own advice - let go and move on to other interests?
