If you were to count up all the significant women in the initial Star Wars trilogy, you’d get Princess Leia. Leia is a fantastic character, sure, and Carrie Fisher is amazing, but surrounded by a sea of men (and male non-humans), whatever she does for empowering females is lost amongst a further lack of representation, and a gold bikini. The prequel series adds Natalie Portman to the list of Star Wars females with Padme, but she continues to drown in all the testosterone. Now, with the announcement of only one new female lead in the next addition to the franchise, we have to wonder, where are all the women?
