Leslye Headland talked to Fantastic Frankey in an interview and told the portal that she tries to avoid various theories about her upcoming show. The director explained to the portal that she does not address the speculation about her show because she does not want to see her show everywhere. She simply stated to the portal that, “I try to stay away from my show just because I'm trying to stay away from my show”.

Star Wars enjoys a massive fan base which implies that any revelation leads to fans trying to connect dots and giving rise to more Star Wars theories and speculations. Leslye explained to the media portal that the show being leaked also intruded on her own enjoyment. Reportedly, the director feels that her own enjoyment of video essays about Star Wars on YouTube vanishes because she starts seeing her face on all the videos.

Leslye revealed to the portal that she might get interested in various fan theories some time in future, but not right now. The director however, confirmed to the media portal that her show is female centric. She went on to talk about a few other possibilities about the show as well.

Leslye revealed to the media portal that even though the upcoming series has female protagonist, it does not exclude men. The director stated that it is a show for everyone and just because it centers around a female does not imply that men would be excluded from that space. She went on to tell the portal that she relates to male characters all the time and roots for Mando and Luke.

“An inclusive space means an inclusive space. But at the same time, I think that just because something has a female protagonist doesn't necessarily mean it's only for women.”
