My guess for the change is due to how many women in games have been overly sexualized. From dead or alive and their amazing boob physice, mortal kombat, 90% of mmos with their style when it comes to female armor, gta and my favorite metro last light when a badass female turns into the "oh help me main protag. Thanks for saving me now make babies with me for now i just wanna have a kid instead of fighting". I'd guess that they wanted a change away from the traditional stuff i listed. Not to mention it's rated T and as i said with the world the games takes place in, it'd be kinda out of place imo. Now most I could imagine is one of the awokens being a deadly femme fatale or something. But then it'd be weird seeing them trying to seduce the enemies we have in this game.
