Yes, I think the issue for me is about the lack of any effort to establish whether there were any innocents. In addition to that, the level of culpability is up for debate. Is Yeoman Tomalok, who...

I think it is possible to find a balance. Not every heroine needs to be equivalent in every way. For example:

Princess Leia is a fantastic movie heroine. She is a freedom fighter but her skills set...
