You know that western society has hit rock bottom when their culture is defined by something as puerile as Star Wars.
Don't be mean. Let the girls play in the sandpit too.

Star Wars was created for children of all ages, including Lucas himself. It was for children to experience a genre from forty odd years earlier, which Lucas had watched as repeats, and for adults to relive that nostalgia brought up to date.
The target audience wasn't specifically boys. See here, for example, the card at the end of the first episode of The Phantom Empire (1935), promoting the next instalment:
And fast forward to see who was waiting in line to see Star Wars in 1977:
In 1983:
And 1999:

You assume that it's a secret conspiracy. In reality there's a well documented, overt agenda right on the surface, involving ideas that subservient people are too ADHD to bother familiarizing themselves with. Do you honestly think that Hollywood has no political agenda?Do you honestly think that the Harvard educated writing rooms aren't filled with indoctrinated people who, as captive audiences within meritocratic institutions, weren't sold irrational philosophies that undermine logic and reason?
My sister in-law asked for help writing a sociology paper in an elective course. All of the questions she had to choose from involved "value" assumptions and culture, and all of the literature relevant to her assignment involved PoMo. If you take any arts courses, Post Modernism is unavoidable. If you want a job in a writing room, you need an arts degree. There's no conspiracy. It's indoctrination. You just have your head buried in the sand, like a good worker bee.
