it's motherfucking Harrison Ford at the SW7 shoot with a goatee. The seat next to him may be Carrie Fisher's.

Alright everybody, fuck off and go home. Tetsujin just won the internet, so there's really no point in dragging this thing out hunting second place

It is really a SW tradition to have only one significant female character per trilogy!? Even if you add Carrie Fisher and the old cast as significant that's 1 female per 6 male. Bad ratio. If this SW is entirely fresh there's no reason to uphold the "one woman per trilogy" rule. I hope they feature female Jedis now because there's only one is six movies and she didn't even had a single line while male Jedis speak all the time.
I do hope they add more if not I'll be very biased against this new entry. This is 2014 they better know better.

Yeah, and it's not like Lucasfilm don't know how popular some of the female Jedi characters have been.
Even the EU is chockablock full of them. The Clone Wars had a whole heap of episodes solely focused on female characters/Jedi (many from the film canon).

I imagine its still gonna be three main main characters again, and will thus be two guys and a girl. And the girl might even be the main protagonist. Serkis is almost certain to be the voice of an alien.
In short, I think people might be jumping the gun a bit on the outrage considering we don't even know the main character.

I can't say I really understand the outrage, given that this is neither a Star Wars only thing, or a new thing for Star Wars.
Remember the Avengers? It had two important female characters. I suppose it could be three if you count Pepper, but she was barely in the movie. Aside from that it was a male dominated movie. Thats about the same number of important female characters that are going to be in Episode VII, going by current information.
There wasn't really any outrage about it in that instance either before or after the movie was released that I saw.
Its the same way with lots of movies like this, so I'm confused as to why this movie is getting outrage over it. Especially given that we don't actually know anything about this film at all aside from who the main actors are.
We have no idea about side and supporting actors or characters, or which of the new actors are getting which roles.
Like Force said, for all the information we have right now, the new female character could be the central protagonist of the movie.
The simple fact is this movie is still very early in its development, and we know pretty much jack shit about it.
At this time I really don't think there is any reason to be outraged. So lets all just sit back and see how this thing develops.

Some sources say Lupita Nyong'o has a role and I do hope so.
This case is different from the Avengers. The MCU has been building the team through different movies and Black Widow is the only known human female fighter featured. That's why when Maria Hill gets added it's seen as an effort from the producers. I don't complain either at Captain America because it's a WWII-based film and Peggy's presence is even unlikely during that period.
As for the reboot Star Trek, the reason I don't go with the angry feminist bandwagon is that the original team is really one woman, six men and that they elevated Uhura's role. I have issues but I'm not that angry. As for Pacific Rim, getting a woman of color as a main lead in that kind of sci fi is incredibly rare, and that dampened the outrage for having only one woman speak in the film.
This new SW is fresh, there's no reason to limit the cast again into a one-woman rule. Even if Daisy's the main character, it wouldn't make no sense that there's no prominent female politician, Jedi, pirate, villain or anything in such a vast and advanced galactic society.
I'm not saying that it would certainly be sexist, but if there's angry people like me who can pressure the producers to do better, then it would be good. It's better to complain now than stay quiet and just suck up whatever the final product then later regret that I didn't join the campaign for more IMPORTANT female characters.
