Camille at Book Moot liked the new Star Wars movie, but noticed something about the female characters.
I finally figured out something that has bothered me about the movie though. All the women just sit around, empty handed, on sofas and sit and sit and sit. I know Padmé is pregnant and cannot be an action figure but you would think that she would have some paper work to do or diplomatic business to transact or some booties to knit or a parenting book to read.Apparently in a galaxy far far away women have nothing to do but brush their hair and wear a new outfit in every scene.
Makes me appreciate Leia/Carrie Fisher picking up a blaster and shooting every stormtrooper in sight in The New Hope.
Maybe that's why Padmé lost the will to live: she knew the time was coming when, as the single parent of twins, she wouldn't have time all day to even take a shower.
