Imagine if the roles were flipped and a man who likes a girl much, much more attractive than him stopped her from

It’s almost Jar Jar level cringe - that’s why

Jar Jar and his entire species are so much worse.

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

She's an easy target for Fanboys who didn't love the movie. She's onscreen for 13 min (less than Jar Jar) and because

12/11/19 5:07am

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

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

I hope it doesn't seem I'm advocating for Finn and Rose. I'm not. I just think rose is an easy target for those who

Leia and Luke was pretty hot

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

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

If I wasn’t on CB I wouldn’t have remembered her name
