    The issue I have Is when there whole character is that they are a minority

    Like I love Ashoka but Ray Skywalker is just boring

    Now when people hate on actual good characters like Samus That’s when alarms should be sounded

            “Minority” in this context does not mean having a smaller population. Minority means a group of people that have been historically oppressed or persecuted.

            Women are a special kind of minority because even though they make up the majority of population worldwide, they’ve faced oppression for centuries.

            Another example would be white people in South Africa—even though they are a minority as a percent, they still aren’t a minority because they don’t face oppression.

      I love how Rey could have been an example of how the force can manifest in anyone . But instead she’s Palpatine’s granddaughter so never mind turns out it’s just hereditary lol. They had it all setup and then fumbled it.

      It’s kind of amazing how shitty episode 7-9 are. The franchise made a profit on momentum alone.

        Well, no. JJ Abrams had some bullshit vaguely scribbled out in the margins - probably the Palpatine nonsense. The actual movie was promising.

        Rian Johnson accepted everything the first movie did and gave different answers. The answers were fantastic! The movie was… okay.

        JJ then went nuh uh! nuh uh! and crammed eighteen different half-baked ideas into a MacGuffin chase that made absolutely everything worse. The movie was so pretty, and the movie was so dumb.
