I enjoyed that even more this time.
So much more lands. The goofy stuff, barely even noticed it.

It’s Star Wars. So much fun.

I’m no crusader but that kiss pissed me off. So utterly throwaway.
It’s already been taken out of the film in certain markets.

What’s even the point of doing it like?

I don’t see why anyone would care. Them being lesbians should not be an issue at all.

It’s the worst kind of tokenism.

A sop to Gay people who don’t want that. They want to see someone identified as gay within the story. Not two extras smooching. That isn’t representation.

Be like has the black guy in it but he’s in the background serving drinks.

It’s offensive how it’s so worthless

I understand that point of view. A shame it’s still something that gets censored in the middle east.
