A new female-led Stars Wars series for Disney+ has been announced and everyone on the internet is expected to react with grace, goodwill, and excitement at a new series of Star Wars adventures for everyone to enjoy.
The fact that the ‘female-led’ nature of the project continues to give a healthy gender balance to the franchise will certainly be a comfort to everyone on the internet.
“Brilliant, some more Star Wars,” is the sort of thing that someone on the internet is likely to say.
“And female-led to boot. Well, to be honest, although I’m not terribly bothered either way, I can appreciate that there are little girls out there for whom a female-led Star Wars is going to be a source of empowerment and inclusivity, and therefore I can only applaud the whole enterprise.”
Of course, not everyone on the internet is gifted with similar opinions, so there are likely to be different views.
“Well, frankly, The Mandalorian was not for me,” someone who wasn’t too excited about the new series might say.
“I guess I prefer Star Wars as a feature film experience. But, as I understand some people do enjoy the TV series, well, I’m happy for them.”
“The fact that it seems to promise prominent female characters being a problem to me?” They might scoff.
“Of course not, what kind of crazy person would get all cross about prominent female characters? It’s not the 1970s.”
On the other hand, there is the tiny possibility that everyone on the internet may react to a new female-led Star Wars series by having an epic hissy-fit, threatening to never watch Star Wars again and setting fire to their limited-edition Boba Fett cuddly toy.
