I LOVE Machete.
Thanks for clearing that up for me Joe. I haven’t read or seen the original source material, so that explains everything.
See folks, these threads can be pleasant and helpful too.
Glad I made you laugh.
Sharknado - animated, complete with show tunes.
Come on guys, play nice - this is meant to be a fun thread.

Flippant answer - For the same reason Lando Calrissian needed to be black in ESB.
Cynical answer - Disney wished to reach a different demographic, since the Star Wars fan base has been traditionally been male dominated.
Zen like answer - To bring balance (to the Force); Kylo & Rey mirroring Luke & Leia, thus reinforcing the parallels & recurring themes that can be drawn between the original trilogy and the new one.
Depressing answer - To tick the diversity box - selecting casts by committee is sadly the norm now.
Upbeat answer - To provide a positive role model for girls.
Sad truth answer - To push gender politics.
Ponderous answer - Maybe the writer stuck to writing what they know? Perhaps they know someone that happens to be female that influenced Rey’s character (obviously not to the extent that they have superhuman powers, but the more human qualities) or possibly they were influenced by how society is moving closer to sexual equality?
Ok, here goes (and I give Lucasfilm / Disney permission to use this on any posters or DVD covers); the reason I liked TLJ is because it’s -
“not as shite as The Force Awakens.”
“We do answer one important question though. What does Kylo Ren look like without his shirt on?”
I snorted tea down my nose when I heard that line - hilarious video!
Yes I did. Oops it’s 2018.
