>Look, I’m not trying to throw shade on the original trilogy. Obviously, despite being captured in A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, Princess Leia was never a mere damsel-in-distress: she was crucial in her own escape from the Death Star after those dum-dums Luke and Han forgot to plan how to get back to the Falcon; she killed Jabba the Hutt singlehandedly at the first opportunity; and she was one of the main leaders of the Rebellion.
>But other than Leia, the original trilogy was not exactly full of gender equality, as this “supercut” of all non-Leia dialogue spoken by women shows. (I’m not sure how much better the prequels fare for non-Padme characters, frankly—there’s Shmi, but I’m not sure how many lines Shaak Ti, Zam Wessel and Aurra Sing had. Who else was there?)
>Anyways, there’s definitely room for improvement, is what I’m saying. And thanks to Rey, Leia, Maz Kanata, Captain Phasma, and who knows how many more, The Force Awakens seems like it’s off to a good start.

Who gives a shit? Star Wars is a male-oriented franchise.
>>63446746
it's almost 2016, who even cares about women anymore
those speaking roles could be delegated to transexual or genderfluid instead of the cis establishment
>Gawker faggotry
go fuck yourself.
You can always trust Gawker to post shit a week after every one else has seen it
if you exclude elan sleazebaggano, total deathstick dealer speaking time in the both trilogies is 0 seconds
legalize it
>>63446746
The leader of the Rebel Alliance (see: good guys) was Mon Mothma, a woman. Get rekt, faggot.

Never change, Star Wars.
I doubt a video of ALL characters who aren't the main characters talking would be very long either
>>63446940
...
How does that make a point to the matter in the first place?
I mean, it doesn't make in anyway, the video in the OP false.
When did Rob Bricken turn into such a tool?
I remember when he ran Topless Robot and did Fanfiction Fridays.
Then he moves to io9 and suddenly it's "too mean".

Also, what's the name of her actress?

What a bunch of whiny, self absorbed, no life having cunts.
You don't see men crying because they don't get a lot of lines in chick flicks.
Vain, emotional, illogical bullshit like this is EXACTLY why nobody takes women seriously, including other women.
>>63446746
Shit like this is proof women aren't oppressed at all. If you have to dig this deep for shit to get mad about then your life is easy as fuck and you should shut the fuck up about 'muh oppression'.

BREAKING NEWS: CHARACTERS THAT AREN'T LEADS GET FEW LINES AND LITTLE SCREEN TIME
>>63447128
>You don't see men crying because they don't get a lot of lines in chick flicks.
Mostly because men in chick flicks actually DO have a lot of lines.
This is common knowledge to anyone who has seen star wars
>bored rich women have been allowed to get this far
Why?
>>63446746
Do you remember when things use to be fun? Why can't things just be fun anymore, everything has to be picked apart by a bunch a whiny crybabies.
>>63447128
Calm down you tits, it almost sound like you were personally attacked.
I mean, no one is even being whiny, there. It's just a video-montage, nothing else. and you don't have to feel offended by it.
>>63446746
I don't get it none of these are lines from main characters. Am I missing something here or do women just have a low intelligence?
>>63447070
If the underlying point is gender equality, then having your unquestioned leader being a female blows a pretty big hole in that, don't you think?
If you got rid of the dialogue from Han, Luke, and the other male main characters it would it be like 8 minutes.
>>63447215
What do you mean? It is fun. it is a fun video.
>>63446746
It's great that now women are getting a voice and they're fixing the problem with Star Wars = not enough women talking. Hopefully now Star Wars will be successful. I'm so glad they fixed that for us.
>>63447212
because women are soft and pretty and we should do what they say
>>63447128
>STOP CRYING WOMEN A BLOO BLOO BLOO WAAAAH
>>63447185
NO DAMMIT THERE NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 10 WOMEN SEEN ON SCREEN DURING THE FILM
AND THEY EACH HAVE TO HAVE 4-6 MINUTES OF DIALOGUE OTHERWISE YOU CAN RENAME IT STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW RAPE
>>63447248
I think it's more about the amount of female representation and acting job in movies.
That being said, to be fair, we'd have to show how much speaking time a all non-maincast male role have
(so, not Luke, Yan, Obiwan, Darth Vader, Chewbaca, Lando).
So if Rey, Phasma and Lupita Nyongo are main females in TFA, how many lines will there be for non-main females?
We've seen female characters in the Resistance base (one is Carrie Fisher's daughter, will she get any lines?) and there's one X-Wing pilot that we've heard speak
I honestly doubt we'll see any female officers on the Star Destroyer, or any female Storm Troopers outside of Phasma.
>>63446746
>I’m not sure how much better the prequels fare for non-Padme characters
Actually then why the fuck arent they complaining about that?
>>63447248
"you have those two big role being female, so everybody else can be male" isn't really a valid argument.
>>63446746
this is why you cannot win with these people. Leia has been the strong female archetype for decades, the "princess needs saving" who took charge when her rescuers didn't know how to proceed.
But to make the ideology work you cannot acknowledge past progress, the past hasta be held up as Bad no matter what, to justify additional changes in your favor. But how to find outrage where you had support? Simple, just specifically remove the support then point at the resulting lack of support that your own actions just produced. Easy!
The next step will be to take all the female speaking roles out of a currently perceived as pro-feminism work (like, say, Jessica Jones), then whine that the men aren't talking about the women *enough*.
Jeus christ, all this butthurt and complain in this thread.
Someone make a funny trivia SW video like there are plenty and you all act on the defensive as if you were personally being attacked.
>>63447199
>Mostly because men in chick flicks actually DO have a lot of lines.
That's because even women can't stand women...
>>63446746
>it's a big war
>mostly men in the movie
>they think it's weird when real women can't even do 5 push-ups
We must stop this white male oppression by youtube videos, this is literally white holocaust. Anyone with me brothers?
>>63447226
>a white knight faggot suddenly appears
>>63447433
That's... beside the point. It's more related to having love interest and a varied cast of supportive characters.
>>63446746
>the original trilogy was not exactly full of gender equality
so sort of like real life?
>why don't side character talk more about things other than the main characters or the active plot for more than 60 seconds
Entitlement.
>>63447477
facts remains facts, no matter who say them.
There is literally nothing wrong Gawker media you shitlords
>>63446746
>SJWs still find a way to complain about a movie that featured one of the most naturally strong women ever
>it doesn't matter that she was independent and smart and had integrity
>it doesn't matter that she was literally the leader of the good guys
>they'll still complain
This is why filmmakers should never pander to anyone but especially SJWs. Aside from the fact that if you included everything they wanted in a movie it'd be horrible, if you listened to their every want and need, they'd still find a way to bitch about it anyway.
>>63446746
I wanna see a female-only cut of Saving Private Ryan.
the Full Metal Jacket cut would actually be entertaining.
>>63447490
>>why don't side character talk more about things other than the main characters or the active plot for more than 60 seconds
Missing the point, there, it's only counting the female one. To have a fair comparison, we should time how much non-main male characters (Luke, Yan, Chewbaca, Obiwan, Darth Vader, Palpatine, Lando, Yoda) Have speaking time.
>2015
>still not realizing half of the original SW cast and extras were trans
Wow, I had no idea gawker was such a transphobic website.
>>63447567
The difference, is that in the SW universe, it's clearly established as having both male and female fighters.
>>63447567
It would just be them at home in their house relaxing, and fucking the neighbor who got off conscription due to some bullshit excuse. Women really suffer during war.

>If you take out this leading female character that broke every sexist stereotype and was a pivotal character in the plot, this movie is obviously sexist and problematic!!
The only winning move is not to play.
Seriously though. I stopped getting angry about this nonsense quite some time ago, and now its almost amusing, like watching a small animal snap at a laser pointer light on a wall over and over.
>>63446746
>Women Didnt Say Shit in SW!
>Made 100's of millions of dollars.
Hmmmm.....
>>63447358
If the point is about perceived gender inequality in Star Wars canon then it's a valid argument. Name an evil female antagonist in the original trilogy
>you fucking can't
They're unilaterally represented as forces of good, even if they're sparingly used. Do you need an all-out lesbian orgy on screen to drive this home for you?
>>63447652
Don't be silent.
Call these dumb cunts out on their bullshit every single time, and eventually, it'll stop being "fashionable".
>>63447686
Please don't.
These retarded sentences said by both women and men who work at gawker will astound you
>retarded leftist SJW propaganda
who fucking cares?
I think its more sad that they had to remove Leia
>>63446746
>women are left out!
>(if you remove one of the main female characters)
This is what SJWs actually believe
>>63447226
>you don't have to feel offended by it.
It's like manufactured outrage, no? I wonder who else in this equation is guilty of that.
>But not in a good way
Oh fuck off
>>63447808
They are never satisfied because their outrage industry involves being "oppresed". They will never be happy.
>>63447603
>clearly established
it was? I don't remember any female fighter pilots in the original trilogy at least (haven't watched the prequels in forever, dont recall).
Holding up the original trilogy and using the metric of speaking time as a barometer of gender equality is cherrypicking the data. The women we do see are in charge while the men are disposable cannon fodder.
Maybe a headcount of male-to-female deaths would be more informative? Do *any* women die in the original trilogy? I suppose some of Hutt's slaves were on the barge that blew up. I don't think we ever saw a single female on the Death Stars did we?
>>63448072
Aunt Beru, and the dancer that Jabba dropped into the pit.
>The 1970s and early 80s were times for gender equality
Ya don't say.
>we aren't the center of attention in every movie that's ever been made!
How did they miss out on Melissa McCarthys role?
>>63448119
Gender equality *came out of* the 70s and 80s. Real equality, not the fake-equality that feminists only have left to fight for since it was actually achieved decades ago.
We've yet to surpass Ripley and Sarah Conner as the best female action heroes and they came from the late-70s, early-80s. And this was a time when women were willing to put in the effort that the male heroes did as well, not like the little Game of Thrones fatty in the remake.
>>63446746
>Almost no female dialogue
That's precisely why the original star wars movies were so good.
>>63448286
>Gender equality
No such thing.
Chicks are physically weaker, emotionally unstable, and have lowered the standards of everything they've gotten involved in.
Females are inferior to men in everything they do, except raising small children, and their greater participation in society has made it worse, not better.
>>63446746

Who the fuck are they trying to fool with this shit? It's like Calvinball where the rules change as we play. If you take one of the main characters out of the movie, obviously it's going to leave a fucking gap in a well written movie.

Does this same logic apply on every other movie? Take some hit movie with majority of women in the cast and then whine how it doesn't have equal amount of dialogue written for men.
>>63449353
>hit movie with majority of women
I don't think such thing exist

Look at the guy who wrote that, LOOK AT HIM and imagine him saying "throw shade."

Sadly, this is completely true. I was a white knight beta faggot in grade school, thinking that being nice to girls amidst a sea of assholes=drowning in pussy.
This could not possibly be further from the truth. If I could do it all over again, I would live my entire life as a misogynist asshole instead of just realizing it in my adulthood. Women genuinely enjoy being treated like shit.

Women's involvement or lack thereof in any form of media doesn't denote any mark of quality or importance.
FUCKING HELL, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF A MOVIE HAD NO MALES SPEAKING, AS ALONG AS IT'S A GOOD PIECE OF MEDIA. WHY ARE WOMEN SUCH FUCKING CUNTS?
I liked Jessica Jones and it had almost no male characters that were not pieces of shit or eyecandy. BECAUSE THE MATERIAL WAS GOOD AND THE WOMEN DELIVERED IT WELL, THE END.
