"Star Wars" needs gay or lesbian characters introduced into the franchise according to a recommendation in anti-defamation group GLAAD's studio responsibility index report. The annual survey of depictions of LGBT characters in major studio releases has given both Disney Pictures and Paramount Pictures black marks this year due to them not featuring any gay or lesbian characters at all in any of their films last year. Of the 126 major studio releases last year, only 22 of them (17.5%) featured LGBT characters.
