Last week, Charlie Lippincott posted some unused poster concepts for Star Wars, one of which is one of my favorite bits of Star Wars ephemera ever - the Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers poster mockup.

After rewatching The Force Awakens with some friends over the weekend, I got to wondering what the same poster would look like with Rey plugged into it, and so here it is. It speaks to how under-represented women have been in sci-fi & fantasy that I had to do some serious head-scratching to come up with two fictional women with the same vintage cache as Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon for the “ladies’ variant”. Thank god for Daisy Ridley and Rey for adding so much to that growing canon.
