@BootlegGirl do you have thoughts about the different ways in which Leia, Chewbacca, C3PO, and R2D2 experienced captivity by Jabba?2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Well if I were to get super analytic I'd say that all of the non-Leia ones are coded as non-white or lower class.

also I know this is weird and goes against canon but 1) why do we gender droids and 2) why is R2 male?
