I was tagged by the lovely rebelrebeluniverse:
1. What are your favourite female relationships in media? (Business, girlfriends, married, friendships, anything)
Business, because they're either extremely competitive (fun to watch) or really cooperative and supporting which makes me go "awwww" inside.
2. Could you pick one favourite female in Star Wars - are they from EU, films, or tv?
Oh lord I'd have to put it into categories.
Jedi - Shaak Ti
Sith - Darth Zannah
Non-Force User - Padme Amidala
3. Which is your favourite film in Star Wars (so far) film in terms of women being portrayed well?
The Clone Wars, because Padme showed girls that they could both beat the shit out of a monster and marry the man of their dreams while looking sexy as fuck.
4. If you’ve seen The Clone Wars, do you prefer Ahsoka to Pamdé/Leia and why? (I think they’re all awesome, but you know - interesting to know)
I've only seen the first season of the Clone Wars, but from that I'd have to choose Padme because she's always so level-headed and smart in crisis situations, and Ahsoka is still a child so she's got a lot to learn.
5. Which women in Star Wars is the best role model for young children (of any gender&sex)?
Padme (jeez I'm answering her for everything, aren't I?) because like I said in the movie question, she shows girls that they can be badass AND beautiful.
6. And which characters have you been the most emotionally attached too in a single moment? When was that?
Probably Darth Zannah when Darth Bane first found her. Long story short she got separated from her cousins during a huge war between the Jedi and Sith and her only friend in the wilderness she was lost in was an animal that she could communicate with, and when two Jedi Knights found her they killed the animal because they thought it was rabid, so in her anguish she snapped both their necks with the force. My parents had to give away a lot of my childhood pets (and animals are one of the very most important things to me), so I always wished I could have punished them for taking away my best friends when I was little.
7. Have you ever felt underrepresented in media for whatever reason? What would you like to see more of in media?
In modern-day media I haven't; people are usually pretty good at showing now-a-days that women can be just as tough (if not more) as men are.
8. Are there any female characters who’s story lines you disagree with completely? Any you though ‘no, they wouldn’t do that. that just wouldn’t happen. what were you thinking?’
I'm sure there's many, but I can't think of any right now...
9. Do you think it’s too early to judge Episode 7 for lack of representation? Or do you think it’s justified? Are you worried, excited, both?
I'm a little worried about it, but mostly because it's Disney who's running it. I've NOT been happy with many of the choices they've made recently with the franchise. But we'll see what happens.
10. What song, fanmix, or fancast do you feel suits your favourite female character from Star Wars?
Hmmm... let's see... if I could fancast Darth Zannah I would probably have Jennifer Lawrence play her. I know a lot of people would disagree with me, but the thought of Jennifer Lawrence as a sexy, badass villainess is just so awesome to me.
I'm gonna ask some really basic questions because I'm awful at coming up with good ones /:
1. Which Star Wars movie did you see first?
2. Which Star Wars movie was your favorite?
3. Original or prequels?
4. What's something you would have changed in the Star Wars Universe?
5. Which Star Wars character wins Most Badass Award?
6. Favorite Star Wars spinoff show? (The Clone Wars, Clone Wars, that one Robot Chicken Episode, etc...)
7. What's something that REALLY bothered you in any of the Star Wars movies (if there was anything at all)?
8. Have you ever named a pet after a Star Wars character?
9. What's your favorite Star Wars outfit?
10. Have you ever dressed up as a Star Wars character for Halloween?
