          1. Let me tell you a little something about that phrase that gets thrown around regarding media “Representation matters.”

          I’d been avoiding news of Rogue One because I wanted to be surprised by the first trailer. That said, I got the impression it was about Poe.

        That was awesome, bc Poe is awesome, and I wanted to see more of him and his story.

      Imagine my surprise, though, when I saw the teaser today and it focuses on a badass woman.

    Women are so rarely cast as leads, and when they are, too frequently the movie is then branded as a movie just for women.

      To see a woman as the lead in a sci-fi action flick (again!!!!!)… well, it took me by surprise. I cried. Representation matters.
