Re: Stop over-saturation of female characters in star wars. Why?

The decision to make the protagonist of the Battlefront 2 campaign female probably wasn't so they could solely pander to a female demographic, no more than the original Alien film did with their protagonist Ripley coincidentally being female, nor Terminator with Sarah Connor.

Men shouldn't feel alienated because the main character is female, (or vice versa with roles reversed) especially when it's not important to the plot. The gender of Iden Versio is largely unimportant when it comes to her role in the bigger picture which is Star Wars, characters barely bring it up since it's more about her character, who she is, rather than her gender.
