It’s even worse when people want the same things for Padme as well but not for Rey because she has the force and she’s a vessel. A woman can’t be a Jedi, has a family and be strong at the same time. Sad. https://twitter.com/mariennemaid/status/1316907541331365888

Yes, a woman doesn’t need a family. It’s a choice. You can be strong without a family. And you can be strong with a family. Don’t erase both options.

It’s the same pattern as Luke. Being a Jedi master, alone, carrying the legacy. But remember EU?? The same fans not only gave him a wife but she was also a darksider. A DARKSIDER.

Rey already had a “darksider” lover. It is canon. She said that she didn’t want to be alone, wanted to take his hand, she kissed him... it’s all canon. Then why try to erase this?

Let me tell you why. An alone heroine is more desirable for men.

Remember men crying when Liv Tyler got engaged? Yeah.
