I personally love it. I don't have kids, but all I could think of leaving is how cool that must have been for the parents taking their young girls to the movie. It's fairly rare to have strong female role models that don't rely on their sexuality for power.
It's equally cool for young boys to be exposed to women who are generally badass and portray their worth outside of T&A.
This isn't about being PC at all. It's about healthy gender roles being portrayed in a blockbuster film. It's ####ing awesome.

Totally agree. Took my girls yesterday. The 11 year old had a lightsaber and Leia side buns in her hair. All her idea. Guy in line complimented me as a an "awesome dad". I'll take it when I can get it. Between this and supergirl TV show, my daughters are really getting into action/sci-fi.
