Abstract
his Bachelor Thesis focuses on the question of gender in the Star Wars trilogies. By giving a quick introduction to the Star Wars universe and focusing on the gender theories explaining the concept of gender, the damsel in distress trope the male gaze theory and the Mary Sue literary trope, this thesis then shows the history and evolution of gender representation in scifi movies. Through these introductions and theories this paper examines the gender representation of the three main female characters throughout the trilogies: Princess Leia, Padme Amidala, and Rey Skywalker. This paper focuses on the portrayal and stereotypes of the characters and how they change throughout the movies. Leia and Padme fall into both categories of damsel in distress, and objects of the male gaze; in contrast to Rey who is covered by the damsels in distress and the Mary Sue concept.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj se završni rad fokusira na pitanje roda u trilogijama Ratova zvijezda. Dajući kratak uvod u svijet Ratova zvijezda i fokusirajući se na teorije roda koje objašnjavaju koncept roda, damsel in distress, male gaze teoriju i Mary Sue, ovaj rad zatim prikazuje povijest i evoluciju predstavljanja roda u znanstveno-fantastičnim filmovima. Kroz ove uvode i teorije ovaj rad ispituje rodnu zastupljenost tri glavna ženska lika u trilogijama: princeze Leie, Padme Amidale i Rey Skywalker. Ovaj se rad usredotočuje na prikaz i stereotipe likova te na to kako se oni mijenjaju kroz filmove. Leia i Padme spadaju u obje kategorije damsel in distress i objekata male gaze-a; za razliku od Rey koju opisuju damsel in distress i koncept Mary Sue.
