This sadly reminds me of when an Official Star Wars Youtube channel did animations to introduce the main characters to a younger generation. There's one of Leia where they re-enact her shooting the group's way into the garbage area.
And literally there were dozens of Far Right Star Wars "Fan" channels screaming about it, claiming that no scene like that existed in the actual movie and that they were "re-writing history to make Leia look more important than she really is"
They really are just massive sexists who pretend Rey's a Mary Sue and that Leia never did anything but wear the slave outfit.
Star Wars fans are the absolute worst. Gotta be the single worst fandom I'm aware of.
