Their first twoStar Warsmovies in the Disney era -The Force AwakensandRogue One- have asterisk female protagonists and given key roles to player like John Boyega , Oscar Isaac , Diego Luna and Donnie Yen . One area where the coltsfoot far , far by has been lacking in some eyes , however , is highlighting LGBT characters .
Those who have been involved in make the modern films - likeEpisode VIIhelmsman J.J. Abrams - have expressedtheir interest in determine an LGBT figurein theStar Warsuniverse , and while some have been shown in other corners of franchise canyon ( such as the novels ) , none have been part of the movies yet . That is seemingly set to change this December with the handout ofThe Last Jedi , which denounce the big silver screen first appearance ofthe Resistance ’s Vice Admiral Holdo .
In the book ( which is set prior to the case ofA New Hope ) , there is a minute where Leia and Holdo are having a conversation , joking about the possibility of an interspecies family relationship :
" A brace of pretty dark eye . " Then Amilyn thought about that for a moment . " Or more than a pair , if you ’re into Grans . Or Aqualish , or Talz . Or even - "
" That ’s all correct ! Leia order through laugh . " It ’s just humanoid males for me . "
" Really ? That feels so limiting . "
" Thank goodness it ’s a big coltsfoot . "
How this revelation factor into the tale ofThe Last Jediremains to be watch , as very little detail about Holdo are known at this critical point .
