And ultimately trying to subvert these tropes is the reason that so many Star Wars fans are freaking the fuck out.

As someone with a thing for noses...wow. I just wish she were younger. That thing was epic.

When she left the Falcon she told Chewie that she would contact him with a rendezvous point, then when Hux finds Kylo he says that Rey escaped on Snoke’s personal shuttle

Sanders neglected to provide any evidence to back up her claim of deliberate lying on the part of the media.
