A. If Disney hadn't acquired Star Wars, we wouldn't be getting any new Star Wars movies at all. And The Force Awakens and Rogue One were both quite good, certainly better than the prequels.
B. Who cares what gender the main character is? It wouldn't effect the main story at all if Rey or Jyn was a boy. Also, Gareth Edwards or someone stated that it was a complete coincidence (though it shouldn't matter at all) that Rey and Jyn were both female, as the two movies were brainstormed for seperately.
So yeah.
I like Rey & Jyn (Jyn a bit more as Felicty can act better) but hopefully they dont overdo the whole gender thing by saying have women as the main characters consistently for the next several SW standalones.
I'm pretty sure Han will be the main character in the Han Solo movie
One mod to rule them all and in the darkness ban them - Lord of the Mods "I am the Mod Reborn!" - masterlegobuilders I'm the real boss

Imagine if Han Solo was actually a girl earlier in his life. People would freak out.
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.
Yes, though I don't mind it in the animations as it seems more fitting. The only reason I don't like Disney is due to the destruction of EU and the way they steal characters and moments from the EU without recognising it. <- That is annoying. Just give the original EU writers credit for the awesome character that you, Disney did not create.
The female leads is a non issue. One which is not only good for the franchise (female fans = money), but the whole viewership. Both females are fine. Jyn more so, as Rey, like Luke and a bunch of other characters are overtly powerful IMO. Padme was a good female character, the precursor of Jyn. While Leia was a bit meh, more your typical damsel in distress, always needing rescue. She's very Disney... Ironically.
Disney is chasing money with these ladies. They, like Barbie previously forced the idea that females were a certain way. Parents are buying into the whole "I'm sorry about giving you this rubbish perception of what you can and cannot do as a female". I'm not buying it, but some adults are. So at the end of the day... I'm with you. The ladies are fine, but the underlying reason is annoying. They just want to tap into the strong female trend. I don't think it has anything to do with political correctness, more adults wanting to expose their children to characters like Jyn and Rey. Therefore, as a capitalist society, Disney delivered what the consumer wanted to buy.
It makes sense that they'd be a lot of female rebels. Women and other species were oppressed by the Empire. There were few female and even fewer non-human Imperials. Of course they'd join the Rebellion. It's good that the new stuff is reflecting that.
I'm going to be in a minority here, but I really don't like Marvel movies. Pretty much superheroes in general. They're just like Disney. They'll churn out whatever is popular at the time. We'd have 10 new SW films by now if Marvel bought it. As for Sony, I don't think they'd consider. They're not really interested in films. Yes they make some, but they only copyright them for 10/20 years. They're just not very interested in forking out money for films with longevity.
You do know Marvel studios is owned by Disney right? That means all of the avengers movies now inclding spiderman with the exclusion of Deadpool an the X-men.
I do because someone mentioned it earlier in the threat. Though ownership doesn't mean much. Village Roadshow owns Warner Brothers Australia, but it means absolutely nothing. I don't think Warner Aus even makes films, Village just uses the name and likeness to push local films internationally, as well as sell tickets at their (Warner Brothers) Movie World theme park. Additionally, Sony owns MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) but Sony is not involved in James Bond films as Disney is more than likely not involved in the creation or funding of Marvel films. They are all parent companies that really have very little to do with their smaller businesses. You'll find that each has its own CEO among other staff.

I wasn't aware of that when I wrote this. Everyone has let me know over time though. But thanks anyways.
