The original Star Wars movie was introduced in 1977. A long time ago. Let us consider the primary female character, Princess Leia. She was somewhat feminine, wearing fancy hair and flowing robes. At times she acted very caring and nurturing, as when she pleaded with Darth Vader not to blow up Alderaan. At other times, she was very imperious and dare we say, feminist. And example of this is when she scolded Luke and Han for not planning their escape from the detention deck well; with her consequently taking charge. She was a classic damsel in distress when Luke was using his rope to cross the deep shaft. She nurturing in consoling Luke after the loss of Obi-Wan.
As can be seen, she was an odd mix. Perhaps this was because the makers of the movie did not want to create a strong female character, as this might be a turn-off to the audience of the era. Rather, she would be strong at times.
Flash forward to today. The new Star Wars movie is about to be released. Apparently Leia is now a general. The question is: What kind of character has she morphed into. It is most assuredly something that fits today’s liberal sensibilities. Your task is to guess exactly how these sensibilities will play out in the film

America’s Pathetic Prat of a President (y’know how I hate PPPs):
“Obama shrugged. Hillary shrugged. The media shrugged.”
Emphasis mine:
Obama rushed to say that the motive was undetermined, but when a leftist follower of the Southern Poverty Law Center murdered three Muslims in North Carolina, Obama immediately ascribed the killings to “Islamophobia,” when in fact they were the act of a deranged man who was enraged over a parking dispute, and who had repeatedly said that he preferred Muslims to Christians…
The Feds have not even been able to tell us exactly who Tashfeen Malik (if that is her real name) is, or provide a picture of her, or records of where she came from, when she married Syed Farook, when their child was born, or proof that Syed is indeed the father and that she had a legitimate claim to be in this country.
Tashfeen Malik was subjected to background checks by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security before she was allowed to enter the country. She passed both. That is a stunning indictment of Obama’s vaunted “vetting process” for the Syrian refugees he is intent upon inflicting upon this country…
In the wake of this jihad attack, Obama wishes to disarm the victims — as if that would stop the jihadists. Machete-wielding Muslims slaughtered a dozen Chinese commuters and wounded over a hundred at a major commuter train station in China. The commuters had no weapons – no way to fight back…
Obama’s jihad-free counter terror policies and jihad denial is the cause of this catastrophic intelligence and law enforcement failure. Obama has blood on his hands (adding to the rivers of blood of Christians in Syria and Iraq.) But the message from the administration is, Get used to it. Disarm and get used to it. And the media follows after him like the man with the shovel after the circus elephant, always eager to clean up the messes he makes.

AMERICA MUST VOTE OUT THESE BARKING MAD LEFTIES. THEY (OBAMA, CLINTON, KERRY & CO.) ARE A TRAGIC CLOWN SHOW IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD.

Leia was one of my favorites in the original Star Wars trilogy, and I’m enjoying her new comic series as well. Imho, she wasn’t so much an “odd mix” as an actual, believable character. Yes, she could be feminine and nurturing, but as a princess…conceivably an actual ruler…she could also take charge when the need arose because damnit, somebody had to. Like a real person, she (and Luke, Han, Lando, Chewbacca, the droids, etc) aren’t one dimensional.
People are not a single aspect, and have many facets to their personalities. I can only hope that this willingness to create real characters with strengths and flaws alike will carry over into the new movies. Already got my ticket for opening night, regardless! 😀

Here is the US Attorney General,
In her response to what appears to be a deadly, ISIS-motivated domestic terror attack, Attorney General Loretta Lynch has offered an almost Onion-level self-parody of liberal pieties. Per Obama administration protocol, the attorney general was determined to never let a crisis go to waste. There is now a “wonderful opportunity and wonderful moment to really make significant change,” Lynch declared the day after 14 innocent Americans were murdered and 23 injured at the hands of a Muslim couple who’d reportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS. And what is this change? New gun-control measures, of course, including stripping the constitutional rights (without due process) of Americans often arbitrarily placed on the vastly over-inclusive terror watch list. Lynch addressed the Muslim Advocate’s tenth-anniversary dinner and declared that she is concerned about an “incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric . . . that fear is my greatest fear.” Her greatest fear is — not terrorism — but a nonexistent Islamophobic backlash? ISIS has demonstrated that it can bring down passenger jets, strike the heart of a great Western capitol with urban assault teams, and inspire horrible carnage in California. We also know that ISIS has pledged to keep attacking the U.S. and possesses chemical weapons. Yet it’s politically incorrect speech that strikes fear into the heart of our attorney general.
What about blurring the distinction between speech and violence? Lynch is so serious about stopping Islamophobia that she’s sending a clear message to those who engage in “anti-Muslim rhetoric” — the Department of Justice is watching you:
“When we talk about the First amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American. They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted.”
Apparently she intends to prosecute for things protected under the first amendment
