But Leia was no soft chick, in fact for most of the trilogy she was more hardcore than Luke's soft ass was.
yea but she didn't swing a lightsaber around or pilot a spaceship. she wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty (chick looked very comfortable handling a blaster)... but she was never the main identifiable hero.
now they tapped into that hunger games crowd. a strong ass kicking female in the lead.
mo money mo money.
plus we haven't had interracial romance in the movies on THIS scale before. this is gonna be the biggest movie of the year and it's gonna be centered around an interracial couple. plus boyega looks like he got charisma comin out the pores so you know he's probly gonna bring in a decent sized black audience as well.
mo money mo money.
If this shyt is romeo and juliet with lightsabers it's gonna break the fukkin bank
