Why is Disney trying to change the Star Wars market so much?

So Disney have noticed that there is a lack of memorable female characters in action type movies. So what?
Some of this boards favourite characters are le strong independent women who don't need no man like Ripley, Sarah Connor, Full Metal Bitch etc.
I'm not saying Rey was even remotely near anywhere like those characters but Star Wars is for kids.

It's not that they're both female, but they're both just uninspired and dull. We can't judge this new character, but she seems pretty generic.

Rey has practically zero flaws which makes her a boring character. So many of these top-tier female action heroes have flaws. Ripley, Sarah Connor. All flawed.

Exactly. At least when some male characters are Gary Stus, they usually have charisma as well. Rey had none and feels like a vessel for female viewers to self insert into.

Because white 'nerds' (truly normies who think they are nerds and liberal minded nerds who care more about PC than their fandom) are going to go regardless. They have been contitioned to accept that what they want is not as important as what others want. And in their mind they even like all the changes.

Why would a god who (/co/fags correct me if I'm wrong) doesn't live on earth and as far as I know never even visited give one shit about MUH JEWS or Israel?

I don't really understand why literal immortal gods even CARE about earth enough to save it on a weekly basis but whatever, the stories demand it or some shit. But racism towards earth races just seems so weird if you're not an earthling or whatever.

They do this because that's a recipe for good critical reception nowadays. Critics love progressive politics in movies.

It's better to soft remake a story that worked than it is to come up with a new one.

Disney know exactly what they are doing with these SW movies.

The weirdest thing is that she is clearly a China market pandering tool, but she is supposedly Finns love interest.

Now the Chinese don't like blacks as it is so why would they think watching one of their women do interracial would be a smart move?

It is strange that now demographics and who buys your product doesn't seem to matter anymore. Women will never like Star Wars as much as men. Yet the liberal religion is so strong they will force female characters into it.

Not that anon, but I see it this way. The pre-Disney Star Wars universe is canon, the post-Disney acquisition universe is the "Disneyfied" Star Wars universe. George Lucas approved EU content and created Star Wars, making his way the right way.

Nerds think it'll get them laid.

Also SJWing is really popular with people 15-25 these days.
Don't worry its just a fad. Like how the hippy movement gave way to one of the most capitalistic and superficial times the 80s, which gave way to the grunge of the 90s.

>>67996964
I get what you mean, but Star Wars isn't Disney's creation and their universe will never be canon in my eyes. It's Disney's canon, not the original canon.
>>
>>67997188
That doesn't seem like the whole movie, all you described was the premise. "Rebellious girl tries to steal death star plans"

And the most likely love interest is Luke, since they will need to explain who lukes wife is in the later movies, it makes sense to set her up in a movie set in the past. She and luke are approximately the same age at that point in the story
