Joseph Gordon-levit's take on Luke and tlj

LOL! That's funny! (Just in case you're being serious, no am not that person). For the record I have no problem with strong female characters. But you don't have to transform the bulk of male characters into totally incompetent McGuffins to move the storyline forward; or to make your heroines appear that much more dynamic and absolutely competent.

It's lazy writing that screams an agenda. If you look at the heroes and heroines of the other trilogies, most of them were a mixture of competence and incompetence. But this trilogy: Hux, Luke, Finn (except at the end of each movie), Ackbar, even C3PO came off as incompetent. They were either useless or buffoons. A truly strong female character doesn't need her male counterparts transformed into totally inept people in order to shine. They can still shine and grab the spotlight while being surrounded by competent male characters.
