rose’s line is probably the best encapsulation of the light side/dark side dichotomy in all 10 movies. and while holdo and luke clearly sacrifice themselves out of love (see also obi wan and luke in jedi) finn is clearly acting out of hate. he doesnt say ‘i have ti save my friends.’. he says, seething with anger ‘i cant let them win’

Tbh I’m disappointed in rm / whoever split this into a separate thread. It’s exactly the toxic misogynistic racist bullshit narrative fandom has been fighting against the past few months and now it’s seeped in here.
Not fuckin cool
Oh my god I can't handle all this nonsense! Dime, dtc and stip are the new Axis of Evil!

yeah i dont get all the drama...i do enjoy all the efforts stip is making...¨rose’s line is probably the best encapsulation of the light side/dark side dichotomy in all 10 movies¨ is a great line.

It's completely, utterly wrong and makes no sense in the context of star wars or outside it. But I'll never cease to be amazed by stip's ability to rationalize his absurd positions.

Is there no possibility at all that some people genuinely didn't like the character?
I thought she was fine, but I was definitely confused by the sacrifice thing. I'm also not really a star wars fan, so I guess I could have missed some subtext

I can't stomach pearl jam chat anymore, so all I have left right now is star wars and tournaments.
We need an MCU forum. I could play there all day
I like the MCU films but I don't have much of need to discuss them and rewatch them all the time. I wish I was more passionate about them, if for no other reason that I'd get to interact with you more.
I never discussed the genre of the character and Dime still thinks there are people here who dont like her because she is a girl.
Oh, another logical fallacy! Burt would be proud.
No, VG, that's not what's happening here. If the things being discussed don't apply to the things you've said, then maybe, just maybe, those comments aren't actually directed at you.
Look at the words you chose in your own post. "I never" and "there are people here." Just because you never said or discussed those things doesn't mean that others haven't/aren't.
