Things you discover in random conversations at Marvel Comics

Ever notice that Star Wars has basically no female characters? I'm talking NONE. Not only is there only one female protagonist in the entire original trilogy, but there aren't even very many secondary characters.

Here's my list:
Leia
Mon Mothma
Oola the slave girl
Aunt Beru

Am I missing any?

You know what's worse, though? The new trilogy really doesn't rectify anything. It's still Amidala, Anakin's mother, Aunt Beru (again), and some random unnamed jedi. You'd think Lucas would get with the times.

(As an aside, there is a whole website devoted to proving me wrong, but they draw from the books and are generally too obscure for me to count. If I don't know the character's name, she's probably not relevant enough.)
