    I felt like people thought I was taking crazy pills when I said TFA was mediocre at best. Friends thought I was sexist cause it was a female lead or I was expecting too much for a children’s sci-fi film. I rebuttaled with Rogue One was awesome, with a female lead and a storyline that was great for children and adults. The only criticism I had for it was they had one or two too many characters and made character development weaker for the main cast. Otherwise, an amazing movie. Everything that followed after TFA was just hot garbage. Unnecessary hate was thrown at the actors unfortunately. The writers, producers, and director are to blame for the hot mess that is the sequel trilogy.

      How on earth is TFA too female led? Han Solo, Kylo Ren, Poe… it’s not even “female led” let alone “dominantly female”, and even if it was that wouldn’t make it inherently sexist.
