About this listen

 Strong women have been part of the Star Wars saga from the very beginning, but the franchise has often struggled with how it portrays them. In this episode, we compare and critique how storytellers have written Leia Organa, Padme Amidala, Ahsoka Tano, Rey No Surname, and other female characters; share our disappointments about these and other women’s narrative arcs; and explore how the franchise has become so inhospitable to female creators and actors. Plus, we find reasons for optimism in a few recent TV shows, and we celebrate the portrayal of one particularly great maternal leader.
