Since 1977, Star Wars is a series of films that have a fascinating audience and fandom in the history of cinema. Star Wars films have a sci-fi and westernian genre character and appeal to the male world in both narratives and audiences in general. Generally the male-dominated image of the male protagonists' aesthetic duels in a story based on power and force is broken in 2015 with Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, after Disney bought Star Wars. In addition to the global paradigm shift in gender roles, Disney's desire to include the female fan base into the market in this breakdown is also there. In the modern-popular culture structure, a woman phenomene who is a hero with masculine codes emerges. In the Star Wars series important woman characters are always presented, but not as heroic. The aim of this study is to look at the construction of the woman hero (Rey) through the film The Force Awakens, which is the first woman in the last trilogy. The basic story of the film series fits the scheme of Vladimir Propp's Russian tales. Therefore, as it was looked at the construction here, the narrative structure was analyzed by Propp's structural analysis method and how the woman hero was built within the masculine language. In the construction of masculine language, the image of impeccable masculinity created by Hollywood and popular culture is encountered while the woman is consumed as a supporter of masculinity in this created capitalist language. The importance of Propp's structural method from the point of study is due to the analysis of the structures within the narrative. This approach allows us to analyze the position of women in the narrative and the gender problem through the corpus examined. It has been seen that Rey's heroism exists to strengthen the heroism of men, not her own womanhood.
