Reader 👋

I’ll be honest—when I first saw The Force Awakens, I cried when Han died.

But what stuck with me even more was that awkward moment right after, when Leia walks past Chewie and hugs Rey. Like, what?? I remember turning to my friend in the theater and saying, “Wait, did she just ignore Chewie?!”
