But since I wasn\u2019t raised on Hollywood films somehow this does not trigger fits of ecstasy in me. It\u2019s not bad of course, but <strong>why do they continue shooting science fiction films in the 21st century where women are exceptio to the rule features in a male world?<\/strong><br \/>\nBack to talking about the leads. In my last text (<a href=\"https:\/\/schspin.stieve.com\/2017\/01\/06\/methode-schaefchen-zaehlen\/#english\">And Dream of Sheep<\/a>) I discussed how leading roles are not really an objective category in itself and that the level of celebritiness or a simple definition can turn a smaller role into a leading one.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s have a look at the closing titles which are at the base of the film\u2019s entry in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2488496\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IMDB database<\/a>. It&#8217;s <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Han Solo<\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Luke<\/span> (no text, roughly one scene) and <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Leia<\/span><\/strong>, followed by <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Kylo Ren<\/span>, <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Rey<\/span> <\/strong>and <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Finn<\/span> as the first six on the list. OK, the first three, heroes and heroine of the first films, are audience pullers, aber even they are not followed directly by <strong>Rey<\/strong>. Be this as it may, she is the central character of the film, this can be deduced from press releases and the film poster where she is found in a central position. However, not everyone at Disney\u2019s seems to be aware of this female protagonist in this genre, &#8211; the merchandise department certainly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/clareoconnor\/2016\/01\/12\/after-outcry-disney-launches-new-rey-toys-for-star-wars-fans\/#14d356023152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">left her out<\/a> at first when the action figures were produced.<br \/>\nThis is not the first time a Star Wars heroine got left out: It happened to <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Princess Leia<\/span> <\/strong>in the late seventies when the first STAR WARS film hit the cinemas. And even in 2014, when the old action figures were re-produced they left her out.

Not only, because he has the most words, but also because of the plot (it would be the story of a man who &#8211; as will surely be explained in upcoming episodes \u2013 ended up with the bad guys when little for some tragic reason, becoming a soldier \/ storm trooper. And now he deserted from the army, helps a man from the resistance (<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Poe<\/span>) to escape, becomes good mates with Rey, travels through the galaxy with her (helping her and being helped by her), is able to handle a light saber intuitively and fight with it, grows up, takes responsibility, wants to rescue \u201chis princes\u201d etc. etc.? That\u2019s possible.<br \/>\nEspecially when on top of all this we read how actor <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">John Boyega<\/span> tells the story of how he was cast to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/star-wars-star-john-boyega-830333\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hollywood Reporter<\/a>: \u201c<em>They wanted to make sure they got the right person for the job.

But no worries, I won\u2019t challenge<strong> <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Rey<\/span><\/strong> being the protagonist, also since on top of everything else <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Finn<\/span> seems to be responsible for comic relief in the fiilm every now and then. However \u2013 and this is something the statistical analyses of the script show as well as that of the end titles \u2013 <strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Rey<\/span> <\/strong>is not quite <em>the<\/em> protagonist in the centre as <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Luke<\/span> was was in George Lucas\u2019 first film. The next three images (by ARS) show the categories text, speaking scenes and total scenes and the share each character holds. We see all characters with at least a 2 % share.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\"><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Finn<\/span> is leading in the categories text and &#8211; by a short margin &#8211; talking scenes. Rey by a greater margin ahead of Finn in total scenes. In that image you may notice more characters than in the other two, that is because two more males, <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Chewbacca<\/span> and <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">BB-8<\/span>, are in there as well \u2013 who indeed talk but aren\u2019t included in the script with <em>uuaaah<\/em> and <em>beepbeepboink<\/em> dialouges. In comparison look at<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"> Luke<\/span>\u2019s protagonistic situation in the first film: he leads all three categories in a distinct way (photos by ARS).

Blue and pink dots were added by SchspIN<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">So where are all the women in this Star Wars world, are their foetuses aborted? And the few that manage to grow up to adulthood die in childbirth? Or \u2013 big exceptions! they are allowed to be involved as singular, lonely figures, e.g. at the military or in resistance movements? Or in parliaments as the 5 % token women? The Jedi Council (of the 3 prequel films) did not even have those, they were all men and male creatures.<br \/>\nWho comes up with these stories? Yes, I know, it\u2019s fiction. But that does not place it above criticism or make it less unpleasant.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">There is this <strong>simple definition of misogynous jokes<\/strong>. According to it, those jokes that don\u2019t work any longer when you replace the women by men. So how about applying the Joke-Test to ROGUE ONE and the Star Wars films. <strong>Could they still work if women and men swapped their roles?<\/strong> Would the audience, the Star War fans and those who favour the \u201cIt\u2019s only fiction\u201d argument, would they all want to see a version of ROGUE ONE where there is only one man, a man who has a latent mother complex and who joins a women\u2019s resistance group? Or (THE FORCE AWAKENS) would they be satistied with a young man \u2013 Rey \u2013 as identification figure and for projecting their dreams, a man who travels through the galaxies with all sorts of women to fight various bad women? Or (the first three Star Wars films of 1977, 1980 and 1983) would they want to see the story of a young woman who becomes a Jedi, is trained by old mistresses, has girl-friends to travel through space with or fight air battle alongside them and in the end face her evil mother? Wouldn\u2019t they be bothered at all that there are hardly any men? And that one of these very few men appears as a near naked, humiliated slave with a strong iron round his neck \u2013 but loads of women in the audiene just think that is sexy? Are they content that one of the still very few women in the chronologically earlier parts of the stories (the prequels of 1999, 2002 and 2005) starts out as a king and a diplomant, but from the second film onwards only seems to be chaning his clothes and hairstyle every time he appears on screen and spends his time waiting for the lady of his heart and appropiately dies of a broken heart in the end?<br \/>\nKnowing it was all only fiction?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #4d4d4d;\">Better than doing the Joke-Test would have been of course if all these films had undergone a <a href=\"http:\/\/neropa.stieve.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NEROPA check<\/a>, meaing that the gender of all 50 to 60 roles of a film would have been questioned. Does this role have to be male? \u2013 Yes? Why? \u2013 No?

Yes, someone did notice, but they did not are. And No, no one noticed.
