Okay I'm just going to be brutally honest - I 100% don't care how bad her character was. The harassment (especially the sexism and racism) that she received from Star Wars fans was disgusting and uncalled for. So many of those people justified it because the character was "bad" and that is wrong.It was just a terribly written character, not her fault at all. They took a good actress who happened to be beautiful and put her in a potato sack of a costume and gave her some of the most cringy lines in the movie. The studio did her absolutely no favors in the movies. She didn't receive any more hate than Jake Loyd did, and he was just a kid.
And before you bring out more whataboutism, it was wrong with Jake Loyd and with any actor in the prequels.
