It’s also later revealed that Holdo had a plan all along that would save the Resistance. Here’s a stern, beautiful female character who audiences have never seen before she swoops in, takes control of the situation, and shames a favorite male character like he’s an insolent child.īut because of the way the story is framed, audiences get that Poe is being an insolent child and therefore deserves the dressing down. Star Wars: The Last Jedi has Holdo and Poe going toe-to-toe, glaring each other down as Holdo calls Poe a reckless “flyboy” and accuses him of hubris.Ī less intelligent narrative would have framed Holdo as “the bitch.” Seriously. She’s in direct opposition to Oscar Isaac’s Poe, the golden boy of the Resistance and a fan favorite since his introduction in The Force Awakens. In a less conscious story, Dern’s Holdo would have been cast as a figure for audiences to hate. Let’s celebrate just how wonderful they all are and what makes them so wonderful in the first place. The women of Star Wars: The Last Jedi are fantastically complicated and redefine what it means to be a female character in the Star Wars universe. In our world, men are often told time and time again that they’re not allowed to feel emotion the guys in The Last Jedi were not only allowed to feel emotion but encouraged to, and that’s lovely.īut, back to what we’re really talking about here. The film’s main male characters - Finn, Poe Dameron, Kylo Ren, and Luke Skywalker - were all allowed their own room to grow and change and feel their feelings, which is a subject that more male-focused feminism often looks at. Side note: feminism isn’t just about people who identify as women. This post is one big spoiler for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

It is easily the most feminist Star Wars movie to date its female identifying characters are given agency beyond men, interact with one other outside of the context of men, have their own relationships with one another, and lead the charge while doing so. General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), Vice Admiral Holdo (Laura Dern), Rey (Daisy Ridley), and Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) steal the show in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
