Interesting. After reading through this thread the only comments I'd like to make on writing female characters is this: 1) There are 7.8 billion people on earth. Approximately half are female, that's 3.9 billion individual persons. I doubt very much if any two are exactly the same. Anyone that claims females (or males) have to be portrayed in writing in such and such a way, ignore the fact of those 3.9 BILLION distinctly individual and different people. 2) There are males and females. They are biologically different, no argument there. But under that, more than that, they are both human. To understand what that mean's you need to understand my first point, that all humans are different, distinct individuals. As such, they can be, personality wise, any which way and are not tied to a certain formula because nature tagged them with a penis or vagina.
As far as Star Wars, other movies and how females are depicted in the medium, I'll leave that to ya'll to hammer out. 2001 a Space Odyssey was a great Sci-fi movie, but for my money, one with a lot less special effects and much more substance was "Soylent Green".
