Comment on Where Angels Fear To Tread

    Thank you! Yes that was one of the dynamics I was excited to explore. Star Wars narratives tend to push characters who aren't Jedi, Sith, or clones (at least in the prequels) into a handful of roles. They're villains, the butt of the joke, hapless (and often stupid) civilians, or, very occasionally (mostly just Padme, really) get to kick a very carefully measured amount of butt before they're damseled and rescued. In short, Chester isn't performing *any* of the narrative roles she's supposed to, and no one knows what to do with this, so they're just sticking her in the 'hapless' pile.

    This is, of course, a mistake.
