When there is almost universal hate of something, like Rose, you know it sucks.

Maybe like 2% of people didn’t like her because of a race thing. The other 98%

Well when those 2% of people harass someone bad enough to drive them off of social media they deserve a mention.

Han and Leia's is the only non-utterly awful romance in the entire series

Rose's arc: from it's wrong to save yourself to it's wrong to sacrifice yourself

Oh my. This has bothered me for two years, but I couldn't articulate it.

Your last sentence isn’t helping my earlier point

My issue isn't her race. My issue is that she was forced into the narrative
