Bechdel Test Movie List

Princess Leia is the only character whose name is mentioned in the movie. However, there is Mon Mothma, the female rebel leader. Her name is not mentioned in the movie, but as leader of the whole rebellion, she is quite an important figure.

Mon Mothma's name may not be mentioned in the movie, but it's all over the merchandise. Even as a child I knew her name. I think she should count as a named female characters.

The test is about the movie not the merchandise.

I'm a child of the 80s and saw this movie dozens of times when I was growing up --- and I've never heard of Mon Mothma.

Mon Mothma is named in the credits.

Mon Mothma really does need to be named during the movie in order for the movie to pass on this site.

But she is named during the credits, and credits are in the movie. And we also have a few female ewoks.

Besides Leia and Mon Mothma, there are two other female characters named in the credits. Sy Snootles (the lead singer of Jabba's band), while a puppet, is clearly female. Oola, the exotic dancer who rebels against Jabba and is subsequently fed to the Rancor monster, is also named in the credits. Both characters speak, though it is an alien language.

Even if they're not called by name in the movie, I believe that if they have lines of dialogue you have to count them. This sounds like a faulty rating.
