I still think that's just a clunky way to reconcile Paul's selling of radical Judaism to the Greco-Roman masses with the idea of a single god; same reason Christians still stress that Jesus is God's "ONLY" son - a hold-over from Paul turning him into a demi-god to compete with pretty much everyone else who was important in their society.
Well they decided the force was female so...
Time for my almost daily reminder to everyone that the slogan they based that gimmick off is a dogwhistle for killing 90% of the male population.
Saying "The Force is female." is like saying "The Judeo-Christian God is male." It's Heresy.
I mean, He identifies as The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, so that's two thirds male right there.
