Wrong, she's better than most of the women in the sequel trilogy. She is literally the definiion of defying gender stereotypes. But hey can't have freedom of expression you know. God forbid we let people have opinions.

Edit: not to mention her toy sales rivaled even those of Mando.

Yea because the most important characteristic of any woman represented in Star Wars is that they defy gender stereotypes.

What is with that? A woman can be badass and feminine as fuck. Being badass and girly are not mutually exclusive.

Whether or not a character aligns with arbitrary gender stereotypes should mean jack shit. There’s much more to a person than how they style their hair or if they’re a macho woman.

Which is gina carano, you literally described her and it was what she even talked about in her ben shapiro interview. I never said she wasn't feminine but go off.

Cara Dune is a female brute character. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's very much itself a stereotype at this point. And I certainly prefer a little bit more personality than Cara in any character. She's not terrible, but anyone acting like she adds a never before seen element to Star Wars is bullshitting.
