Yup; again, I’d argue that TLJ and TROS are at least mildly sexist in how they treat Rey, and that doing do *did* drive off half the audience by the time things were done… but Daisy Ridley was still the main occupier of screen time.
And since, again, more white dudes stuck it out with the ST to the end in viewings than women or non-white dudes, that also means that white dudes were the demographic most likely to still enjoy and support the ST even as Daisy Ridley was still the main occupier of screentime, so that demographic wasn’t being neglected.
In fact, I’d still argue they were being catered to at the expense of the larger fanbase and non-white-dude actors through the manner Rey was used; a lot of Boomers and Gen X white dudes were either happy to have Rey become only an audience stand-in around Sad!Luke, or enjoyed having her become Kylo’s arm candy and enabler.
Yes, LFL and some of the pop-culture Biosphere tried to argue that women wanted Reylo, or that Rey not being a Skywalker was “necessary” to make sure she wasn’t “defined by a man”… but the actual data on the reception of the films and their audience’s demographics showed that more women left after Reylo became a thing, and that while Rey remained overall popular, her popularity dropped in comparisons to Kylo’s… because she was semi-reduced to his co-lead because he was a Skywalker.
TLJ is basically a Dude’s Movie in Action Girl clothing; which to the credit of even TLJ fans who I often find myself opposed to, at least shows that they’re not repulsed by female actors being at center stage (…even if that center stage if more as an MC than as a Star.)
