Professor ranks 'Star Wars' movies for female character screen time and the results are very telling

A film studies professor ranked the Star Wars movies based on the screen time of female characters and, well, the results weren't great. 

Dr Rebecca Harrison — a lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow — undertook the somewhat mammoth task of analysing the screen time of female characters in the Star Wars franchise. Harrison's findings revealed A New Hope was the worst movie for female character screen time, while The Last Jedi ranked best. 

Harrison told Mashable the idea for ranking the movies came when she was doing a research project looking at how the Star Wars franchise has used coding and software in the development of the movie. "As part of that I've been thinking about how gender and race play a part in who gets to make the films and what they look like," Harrison said. She was also inspired by the man who edited out all the women characters in The Last Jedi due to the film "having so many women characters." "So, I was partly inspired by the angry guys who hate Star Wars being about women!"  Read more...

That's the move Solange pulled on Tuesday when she unexpectedly announced she would be leaving Twitter without explanation. But before she left, she posed two important questions—and shared a heart-wrenching note on Instagram about the messiness we've all endured.  SEE ALSO: It looks like Beyoncé, Solange, and Michelle Obama all hung out (we're so jealous) "Deleting my Twitter soon, but before I dip," she wrote. "When we gonna pull up? And what we got to do to get my new hero Takiyah Thompson free?"  Read more...
