hinonekart:

rey’s not a skywalker … or a kenobi … she’s a woods

Why is everyone so upset about this? Rey is not Luke. Rey is a character we’ve never seen before. She might be the strongest person with the force ever; we don’t know.

npr:

Star Wars: The Force Awakens revolves around the story of staff-wielding scavenger Rey.

(That’s hardly a spoiler; she’s front-and-center in the movie poster, after all.)

But in the world of Star Wars toys, Rey’s been hard to find — and fans took to social media, under the hashtags #WheresRey and #WhereisRey, to complain about all the movie merchandise that left her out.

Target’s Star Wars figurine 6-pack? Finn, Chewbacca, Poe, Kylo Ren and two unnamed characters: a Stormtrooper officer and a First Order TIE fighter.

Central heroine: Nowhere in sight.

Bedspread? No Rey. Disney store display? No Rey. Barnes and Noble bobbleheads? No Rey. Walgreen’s shelves? No Rey.

In some of the Rey-less displays, her products might not have been stocked by individual stores — or may have sold out.

But in many other cases, toys featuring her simply hadn’t been released.

#WhereIsRey? She’s On Her Way, Says Hasbro

Sexism in modern culture.

npr:

Nigeria is falling in love with Star Wars.

There are two reasons. There’s a growing nerd culture in the country — young people who love science fiction and see it as a way to imagine our own futures as something better than our present. We also have an annual Comic Con in Lagos. And last year a friend and I started an online “speculative fiction” magazine, Omenana.com, which has helped promote a new generation of sci-fi writers and artists.

The other reason: John Boyega.

Boyega is the son of Nigerians who settled in Britain. He plays Finn, a disillusioned Stormtrooper in the new movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And he’s proud of his heritage.

“I’m grounded in who I am and I am a confident black man, a confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man,” he has posted on Instagram.

Nigerians are already familiar with Boyega. He was in the U.K. sci-fi flick Attack the Block and played Ugwu the houseboy in the film adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie’s novel Half of a Yellow Sun.

This is why “The Force Awakens” is good: inclusion.

starwars:

I’m no one.

Rey is a great character. It’s just a shame that she’s wrapped up in a glorified, darker remake of “A New Hope”
