I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. The reasoning behind these decisions is baffling to me, though - my ds loves Star Wars and thought Rey was awesome. Not in spite of being female, just because she was.
And the language in the article annoys me, but I could be misunderstanding; does "breakout star" mean it's a surprise? Because Rey is the central character of the film - the entire plot surrounds her life and choices. The end of the movie focuses on her face, while her male compatriot was left in a coma. How would anyone be surprised that people want more Rey merchandise? Even the trailers and movie posters downplay her character. Infuriating.
