"Of course! 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 counter intuitive to say that there wouldn't be a homosexual character in that world."

From the Star Wars Underworld Facebook page… here are a few of the top comments made in response to the news that JJ Abrams would be happy to see LGBTQ characters appearing in future Star Wars films.
