Daedra Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 So there's a new Canon character being introduced called Moff Mors a female Imperial Officer who is also a lesbian. Very controversial, no? I don't mind some girl on girl action! Anyway this character will be introduced with the new Lords Of The Sith book.

Daedra Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Oh, this is from the EU. Not from Star Wars 7. Yeah it's officially canon but not part of the Episode 7 movie.
eezstreet Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I don't think "girl on girl" or sex at all belongs in Star Wars. That's just my two cents. Hopefully the writer does this tactfully and make her a character who just happens to be lesbian, and not "the" lesbian. Jeff, Circa, Onysfx and 5 others like this

The Imperial fleet is meant to be analagous to the Nazis - right down to the Stormtroopers. The sleek black outfits of the Imperial officers has a similar look to the SS, and Darth Vader's cape is an obvious nod to Hitler, who is well-known to wear a black cape. The weapons used as bases for the props make this even more obvious. Why do you think they chose a Mauser C96 for the DL-44? It therefore seems strange to put a woman in this role. I'm all about female empowerment, but it's jeopardizing the original point of The Empire. Jeff, Rick and Circa like this

If they wanted a woman in power, they already have Leia and could put more leading women in there, but the Empire as you said was literally made as the Nazis of Star Wars. What's next? A movie set in WW2 where Hitler secretly likes the jews?
Tempust85 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Mara Jade rip off. TheWhitePhoenix and Jeff like this
DrXann Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 "He who controls the spice controls the universe" She looks like Mara Jade and is a lesbian too that's a stupid idea.
redsaurus Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Is the picture actually meant to be of the new character or is it just dune (fan)art? Cerez and eezstreet like this
TheWhitePhoenix Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Actually, the Mara Jade Rip-off is named Alissa Zahn or something like that. Plus, she's gonna be an inquisitor disguised as a rebel. This woman, this "Moff Mors", isn't Mara.
Rick Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 So she's the Admiral Daala ripoff [Lesbian Variant] then. Wonderful. I can't say I'm liking nor have ever had any faith in Star Wars material post-Disney buyout. Jeff likes this
Wasa Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Star Wars already had homosexuals in its story so it is nothing new at all.
Kualan Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Hopefully the writer does this tactfully and make her a character who just happens to be lesbian, and not "the" lesbian. This. Agreed, and I don't see how a lesbian woman gets that far in the already established humanocentric chauvinist empire, but it's all apart of Disney's retcons I guess. The Disney retcons have kept the humanocentric elements of the Empire, but seem to favour a more gender-neutral approach. Female stormtroopers appear in the new Tarkin novel, and to be honest this strikes me as more believable. Who cares if your comrade in arms has boobs when you're worried about keeping the blue tentacled alien out of the barracks?
eezstreet Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I could care less about who's behind the armor. The problem is that we're not meant to care. They're soulless, power-armored badasses who take orders from none but the Empire, a cold and robotic machine by nature. I'll spare my judgment about Disney's retcons and changes until the actual film releases. We all know how tacky Star Wars novelists in particular can be. NumberWan likes this
