J.J. Abrams Promises To Add Gay Characters To ‘Star Wars’

J.J. Abrams has taken over as director of the upcoming “Star Wars” movie, and some are wondering if he plans to move ahead with his call to include gay characters in the franchise.

Last year, Abrams told The Daily Beast: “When I talk about inclusivity it’s not excluding gay characters. It’s about inclusivity. So of course. I would love it. To me, the fun of Star Wars is the glory of possibility. So it seems insanely narrow-minded and counterintuitive to say that there wouldn’t be a homosexual character in that world.”
