Khev is right , Poe was supposed to die in TFA. He convinced JJ to keep him in the series, which I though t was a great idea....If they would have utilized him more in TLJ, I assumed he would be the Han Solo replacement.
Nah, In not labeling anyone...
The problem with lot of opinions on this thread is they are just that....one persons opinion.
Saying girls do not like SW cause they are girls is one such example.
Might be better to say “most girls” do not care about SW. At least then you do not appear as someone who can not grasp that people are people and often are exceptions to that rule you just created.
I know ALoT of “girls” how care about SW and more and more everyday. I also know many who could care less about any movie.
Then people go and show how silly they are by saying the only women who care about the SW universe are ugly?

Pretty sure that's what they're trying to do, the costume, the wise *** non-sense chat with Hux mirroring Han's "We're fine here, now, how are you?" line from A New Hope, but ultimately he falls flat.

OK then.
"MOST" women who care about SW are ugly, or perhaps little girls who will grow out of it.
The majority of women on the planet don't really care about Star Wars as anything other than a passing amusement, or in some cases a way to get more attention from men (Slave Leia cosplayers, college girls dressed as sexy stormtroopers, etc.)
"Normal" women aren't entrenched in geek culture. The hot ones just use that idea as a way to further their standings by preying on weak geek guys. (Olivia Munn.)
I remember back in college my roommate was giving me crap about my toys. He couldn't believe I had them all out in my room. He said imagine meeting a girl that's 19 or 20 that collected Barbies and "played" with them and spent her whole day on Barbie forums. He said a girl like that would be considered a lunatic or mentally impaired. I think he might have been right.
We're not "normal" either....we're dorks. We care about this stuff far more than the rest of society. Hot women are too busy being hot and spending men's money on shoes and stuff to bother with the minutia of Star Wars.
Men and women are different. "Geek" men are also different from "geek" women.

the other problem is that there are probably a lot of casual viewing female fans that will go to watch the movie and maybe buy a plush but they are not hardcore fans or they dont follow everything about the lore or they dont obsess over it. I think that obsession in fans that a lot of females dont have is what creates the problem in trying to see how many females like the movies. Because you can watch a movie and like it but it doesnt mean you are a big fan or that you even care about the property.
that happens a lot with music too. some people might like a song that they heard on the radio or they might buy the song on itunes to listen to while working out, but they dont know anything about the band or they will never go to their concerts or they wont even know the bandmates names.
So this person can be considered a "fan" of the band, but they are very casual about it and dont care to know the history or anything. that happens very often in metal.

Hah! Maybe when I was in high school that was true. In those days being a geek was a turn off for woman. Now it's the opposite. Life is good.
im just waiting for us to reach page 2000 and im retiring lol
The very end of page 2017 and I'm out - very symbolic.
Oh, wait - the way this thread's going, page 2017 will be here by tomorrow night.
I grew up in the 80's and Dungeons and Dragons, Nintendo, Comic Books, Action figures, cartoons and The Hobbit were all "geeky" stuff that I loved. I never opened my action figures since I was a kid I got over 600 now and about 10,000 comic books. I loved Zelda and Metroid and Ghost and Goblins. 40 years later all this **** is cool and collectible, I would have been the king of the block back then.

Maybe you guys are hangin in the wrong circles....
My gamer group has several very beautiful women in it...
One married another member , and routinely goes to cons, dresses in R2 dress, quotes the films all the time.
The other is a huge LOTR fan as well as SW. She constantly yells “Stay on target!” When we drive anywhere together...
My wife, was explaining an intricate detail about the trilogy to her sister just the other night.
Again, Maybe you guys are hanging out with the wrong female crowd...
Personally , I would rather spend time with an intelligent sci fi fan then a women who spends all her time dealing with look looks and clothing...
Took many years to learn that however.
