I know this is sort of random, but have you seen Cronenbergs Maps To The Stars? Carrie Fischer is in it briefly, and it seems like everyone I bring this up to is unaware. Its cool to get to see her playing herself in a movie, and now that shes gone I’m sure her fans would like to see every bit of her material that…

Isn’t it the point of these protests to inspire conversation? Its cool you get to decide what conversation should happen where. So you are somehow not into fascist thinking?

We all know what kind of site this is, no need to point that out. So its a sci-fi fantasy site, does that mean people can’t think real women of historical note should take precedence over fictional ones? I think you are just mad that someone disagreed with you.

Nice visual aids, really helping your case.

As long as that someone isn’t Trump right?

The problem is that the focus is too much on pop culture and not enough on the message. I bet the majority of people on here know enough about Leia and Star Wars to fill a book, but how many know about the inventors, leaders, etc that shaped our world? The focus is in the wrong place for too many. Most can’t think of…

It is very possible for people to do both. Maybe someone should start posting vids of themselves dressed as Leia and calling senators to make demands. That would probably go viral if done well.

I think he has the point figured out pretty well. Women love a strong female character, nothing wrong with that. However, when people know the entire character history of Princess Leia, but couldn’t tell you anything offhand about actual women of historical significance, we have a problem. There are so many women who…

It’s funny your message isn’t in response to someone else. Its just trying to start an argument here, and oddly everyone recommends it. To me, the SJW/Star Wars argument was over whether or not the filmmakers wrote and cast the leads as a woman and someone of African descent because it was a great story, or because it…

How is referencing pop culture repeatedly “Battle On”? Do you intend to change the government by wearing a tshirt? Run for public office, write your congressional representative and demand changes, something. Holding a star wars sign up amongst everyone else doing it isn’t going to achieve anything.

It seems many just want to cosplay and party doesn’t it? Celebrity worship is so over the top its insane. Some people cry when celebrities they had zero actual connection to die, but then couldn’t care less about real people in their lives. Your local post-officer or garbage collector does more for you then actors and…

Nice cliché, but its a person in the White House. Symbols may be powerful, but its an actual human being that can enact change, or launch a nuke.

Anyone else worried the current swell in the civil rights movement is turning into a fad? I feel its being treated that way at least. Is the end result going to be what many think of the “hippies” now? Hearts in the right places, but too complacent sitting around with like-minded people and patting themselves and each…

Your “Take what we can get” attitude is somehow less detrimental to everyone’s good?

Just curious, but why would you think a fictional character is threatening to anyone? Yes, Leia tells everyone what to do, but it has less to do with gender or sex and more to do with position and privilege. She is royalty after all. Its a shame that the quest for equality can turn men and women against one another.…
