Alien
The film "Alien" was the first movie to have a woman playing the central role and thus opposing the stereotypes enforced upon them, the woman is portrayed as strong and fearless which contradicts the females in star wars and helped to aid the equal allocation of roles in movies during the time and even today.
Star Wars
The female is portrayed s vulnerable and in need of the males protection, whereas the males are illustrated as the powerful species who can overcome anything, thus conforming to stereotypical ideologies that women are inferior and weak which complies with the context at the time.
