[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9380506, member: 18"] I think it's more like Sith Master Qimir just let himself down and beat Mae to the punch to make a point, given the comment about "needing a guide" and so on. I mean, it's obviously true if we're talking about most self-declared Gen X "Star Wars fans", and given how they've reacted to literally every female character and character of colour from about 2015 onwards, so...? Ummmm. No? Definitely not lol. Wow. I mean the poor Maori guy certainly got made a bit pale by those digestive acids but come on, it's Temuera Morrison! Obi-Wan took huge criticism from the same "50 year old incel" (the new sequel to "40 year old virgin" maybe?) crowd because they all loathed the black female inquisitor. To be clear I'm not calling you out on these - I believe you when you say that's not the issue - but I need to point out that for an awful lot of people loudly claiming to be "Star Wars fans" (many of them over 50), race and gender did seem to play in.
