(CNN)If you feel a ripple in the Force today, it may be the news that the official Star Wars universe is getting its first gay character.

According to the sci-fi website Big Shiny Robot, the upcoming novel "Lords of the Sith" will feature a capable but flawed Imperial official named Moff Mors who "also happens to be a lesbian."

The character is the first gay figure in the official Star Wars universe -- the movies, television shows, comics and books approved by Star Wars franchise owner Disney -- according to Shelly Shapiro, editor of "Star Wars" books at Random House imprint Del Rey Boo

Moff Mors, more like Muff Mors.

Am I right?





Also, Jar Jar Binks was pretty fricking gay so I challenge the article's premise.

First off...frick CNN's writing here and their continually not-so-subtle attempts to reshape American society.

Secondly, what the frick does an Imperial official's sexuality have to do with the narrative of a Star Wars film?

Nice contribution, Hester Carries.

Why is a cinematic character's sexual orientation newsworthy?

The originals dabbled a bit with incest and beastiality, so not really ground breaking.

First openly gay they mean. Between C3PO and Jar Jar we have had gay characters.
