It's official: the Star Trek movie coming out in July has a canon gay character, Lt. Sulu. Not to bring up old blood between the two, butthis makes me wonder: do you think Star Wars' sequel trilogy will follow through with Abrams' claims of a gay character? I'm really curious as to if and how that'll be played out in Star Wars; obiously SW and ST are very different, but I'm curious if (and only if a "gay character" is introduced) the reaction to the news will be handled in the SW fandom similar to how it'll be handled in the ST fandom. Thoughts?
