With the release of The Last Jedi nearly upon us, we look at the state of the Star Wars saga and the history of women throughout. (Well, we entirely ignore the prequel trilogy because it deserves to be ignored so, y'know, the Star Wars saga OTHER THAN those awful movies.) Some claim that, with The Force Awakens and Rogue One both centering female protagonists, Star Wars has become some kind of "feminist propaganda." Do these claims hold up? How feminist are the Star Wars films, really? Find out in this brand new episode of The Freq Show!
