Narrowing in on the red panda’s design… gonna call her Anna, since my middle name is Ann. Drew this on the train ride home. Will try to draw a more refined thing later.
This is why I asked #WheresRey. This is why I think it matters, and why it irritates me that I was lectured by “true fans” about how Star Wars cheapened itself by having a more inclusive, diverse cast.
“Cheapened.”
No. You don’t understand. This is absolutely invaluable to me, as a parent. This means the world to my little girl, who sees herself in Rey, and to so many others.
So the Nerdist was right.
This is amazing.
And not just for my girl, no matter how cute she is in her fangirling (I admit a small amount of bias). It’s amazing for all the kids who can see themselves as heroes of this story with Rey, Finn and Poe now.
