i really, really want it to go over in star wars as well as it's going over in star trek, but to be completely, brutally honest, it won't. star wars and star trek and their fandoms have such different mindsets regarding their characters-- for chrissake, people threated to boycott TFA because finn was black, and they came out in 2015! i'm not saying star trek is perfect, but i do think their fan base is accepting this waaay better than star wars' would. maybe it's the contents, maybe it's the fans, but i seriously doubt that star wars is gonna get an openly gay character to begin with, and if they do, there'd be one hell of a backlash.
