2 new SW movies and women the hero in both. I've noticed an they are a bit overdoing the making up for lack of leading female roles in the old movies. I've read the the first 7 of 9 new SW books(i'm on the 8th) and I think all but one has a woman as the lead or co-lead. I'm all for making it more balanced and even going a bit more than realistic on this issue, but IMO this has been a bit much. Just a side thought from your friendly liberal.
I mentioned something similar after the first Rogue One trailer came out. It's the Star Wars version of reparations.
