#like kelly marie tran faced an unbelievable amount of racism and harrassment and they said oh people dont like rose? ok we'll get rid of her

okay last thing. maybe. but its so fucking wild how much the direction of the sequel trilogy was dictated by like. the studio catering to the whims of the most vocal and obnoxious sect of the fanbase. like people thought tfa was too similar to previous films and just nostalgia-bait or whatever so disney/lucasfilm brought in a new guy to do the next one. and then those same people hated THAT one even more and missed the nostalgia-bait so they tried to bring on a NEW guy but then they booted that guy and just went back to the first guy!!!! like idk if jj abrams having a plan at the beginning of the trilogy wouldve solved this because maybe they still wouldve scrapped it but im just like. this is not how you make movies. like goddamn people hated the prequels but they still let george lucas make them!!

#like perhaps his vision was a stupid one but they let him see it to completion #bc it was gonna make money either fucking way!!!!!!!!!!1 #and maybe a jj triolgy wouldve been stupid and complicated in his usual way but it wouldve been preferable to. this. #also worse than what they did with switching up writers and directors was what they did with rose #like kelly marie tran faced an unbelievable amount of racism and harrassment and they said oh people dont like rose? ok we'll get rid of her #like. i do not think she was a very good character in tlj i think she had a few moments that could have expanded into something better for h #her* #but a lot of her role was like. being shitty to finn. and that sucked!! she couldve been so good and she wasnt #BUT like the solution is to make better use of her in the next film not give her less screentime than the hobbit guy and billie lourd #like that was fucking. reprehensible. #r.txt #star wars
