I don't think it's any coincidence that the Grand Inquisitor is whiter than White.Yeah, I loved her. Is she perfect as an actor? No. But she had multiple great scenes, and even the wooden bits (from her and others) seemed highly appropriate for Star Wars. I remember Carrie Fisher's remarks on Lucas' dialogue, and much as I love the original trilogy, much of the dialogue is far from naturalistic. And I think the acting in this was generally superior to the prequel trilogy. I thought she looked a LITTLE small, but then reflected that kids grow at different rates, and that Carrie Fisher was tiny; about 5' 1".Yup. In-canon plot armor. I had a negative gut reaction about her outrunning full-grown adults, but it was assuaged by reminding myself a) Trope, b) The Force, c) they DID show her ducking through and under tight spots multiple times.</blockquote>
