She's the "Scotty" of the new Star Wars generation, but with the unrequited love for Finn.

Indeed... ever since then, "W.W. And The Dixie Dancekings" has been somehow diminished.
“Fans” need to understand that actors aren’t real. They are only puppets. Somebody else is pulling their strings and putting the words in their mouth.
You actually become stronger and better when you rise above the judgement of a few narrow-minded or mean people.
You can choose not to be a victim.
“I have no idea why this particular actress would be cast. Honestly, why?”
I strongly suspect she was cast because she was Asian. Just about every major movie casts some asians because it increases sales in china and japan. In the case of TLJ it didn’t work since the movie was such a dog.
I thought that was Tim Allen! (snicker)
Rose Tico. The most annoying Star Wars character since Jar Jar.
But she just read the cue cards.
You can choose not to be a victim.
True, you can choose to not eat the nasty biscuit. Works for both critics and the people they target.
Here, once again, a woman plays the victim card and it makes the news.
This is all part of the narrative of failure surrounding the Last Jedi and all the new Disney/Star Wars movies. I think it’s wrong to attack an actress for a role, but the producers have made a big stink about how we the audience should have liked her in the movie because of femme power!
The problem I had with her is that she had a boyish haircut and had no sex appeal whatsoever. It felt like she stepped out of the audience, was asked to put on a uniform, and then given some lines to read. When she first meets Finn, she asks a bunch of questions that make him look like an idiot. But then again every woman in the Last Jedi looks like a boy and is perfect in every way. The men are all bumbling fools without them. It is what passes for feminist thought by the female leaders at Disney.
“The force is female” is a rallying cry for women at Lucasfilm, but apparently Kelly didn’t get the memo because this is a weaksauce passive-aggressive victim card move.
Is she the gal that looks like “Pat” from SNL and Edna Mode had a love child, and the one that made gravity work in outer space?
OK, I didn’t watch all of it.
I still think of him as the Bandit, though it would be fun to see him re-cast as Buford T.
It would be sacrilege to have anyone other than "The Great One" playing Buford T.
True, Burt usually did sign up some appealing female co-stars. Since he's more entertaining than the current generation of Star Wars, I'll continue the thread hijack by pointing out that Burt never took himself seriously and always looked like he was having a great time on screen. The end credits/blooper reel from Cannonball Run is something I never tire of watching.
Whenever Burt was on “The Tonight Show” he was a riot.
Guy was dead serious. I had done my research, and replied ‘Auburn.’ It was the last question he asked before signing the purchase order.
Good for you. The wrong answer to that particular question can be catastrophic. My older brother is a big Bama fan. His wife of 30+ years pulls for Auburn. Makes for interesting Saturdays. LOL
What? They didn't consider that Asian female thespian that sued IMDB because the site posted her DOB/age?
LOL, it’s turned into the “Burt Reynolds’ Memorial Thread” and he isn’t even dead, yet.
“It would be sacrilege to have anyone other than “The Great One” playing Buford T.”
I’d still rather see Burt Reynolds than Wayne Gretzky. :-)
Apologies, all, for hijacking the thread.
It needed to be hijacked, LOL!
