    Very interesting topic and discussion. Agreed completely about Padme and nice points about Leia – but Luke – asexual? Not in my world! But perhaps this is a common view??

    Definitely not agreeing that Mara’s masculine either, except for her lack of contact with her emotions…

    But perhaps this is a common view??

    It’s certainly a viewpoint I’ve encountered before, though not that often… From people who are particularly anti-EU, usually.
