It's an interesting read. And it's telling that even a movie like TFA, with strong female leads, still gives the majority of its dialogue to male characters.
Also, coupling this will so many other comments I've seen about how disappointing it is that, though we are seeing more female leads, they're all white women. Even in the R1 trailer, we see... what two female characters? Both white. Sometimes it feels like the illusion of progress.
There are a lot of different conversations around all of this, I just though it was interesting and relevant to some of the things we were talking about yesterday.
For the record, the
trailer passed the Bechdel-Wallace test.
1) The movie has to have at least two women in it,
2) who talk to each other,
3) about something besides a man.
Yeah, but what I think that article and Joey are getting at is that the Bechdel test has serious limits--as in, it doesn't cover how often women get to speak in a film, or how women are portrayed.

For real. I can't imagine how her casting came off as "tokenism" in that trailer unless someone went in with a prejudiced mindset.

Don't worry, they'll get around to that one. It'll be Rogue One 2 in Dec of 2021.

I wasn't accusing them of tokenism. The YouTube keyboard warrior types are. Probably the same ones that complained that a lead role was given to a black guy back when Finn first popped up in the teasers for force awakens.
I do think it's interesting they went with a female lead again though. They now have two struggles on their hands. Making it clear to the general public that R1 isn't a follow up to FA and no that isn't Rey in this film.
I've been asked both of these things a number of times now.

Yes but if it turns out to be Rey's mom in R1 then it will all smooth out.

Do people actually think it's Rey?
