I saw “MSHEU” in the titles of the current tide of nerd rage videos, guessed it was something monumentally stupid and looked it up
These reactionary dorks are ruining hating on shitty entertainment slop

Prior to reading the Thrawn Trilogy I was one of those “wow she’s so cool” types from just hearing about her backstory on forums. But as soon as I read the books I disliked Mara since I feel like she’s two cool characters combined into one far less cool character. Specifically I think the Pirate and Emperor’s Hand bits feel weird together. It’s pretty telling that when people describe her they tend to entirely focus on the Emperor’s Hand-turned-Luke gf stuff and ignore the entire pirate plotline. So I think she’d be a stronger character if she was just one of the two. Preferably the pirate gf because I think Luke dating a pirate is very funny.
(Also doesn’t help that I read them when TFA was new. So seeing all the “Rey is a Mary Sue” criticisms coming from accounts I had previously seen praise Mara was giving me whiplash since Mara is far worse on that front. Although I wouldn’t criticise her for that since I hate using the term due to the sexist connotations)
