She's just fabulous and amazing and I need to watch it again with my expectation blinders OFF because honestly? It took me a bit to figure out where they were going with this movie. Once I did, I loved it, but yeah, not having that expectation of, "But...action guy! Plucky underdog hero! We love Poe! Don't we love Poe? What's happening?!?" that I went into it with.

And ROSE. I loved Rose so much.
