    Clearly, because his name is Gizmoduck. [face_talk_hand]

    Hmm. Should we really have kids dressing up as Jyn Erso considering her rather grim fate in the movie?

    Kids routinely dress up as far more uncomfortable characters. We don't even see her death.

    I don't think we have evidence the Bendu dies, if you want to dress your child up as a narcissistic sociopath.

    So kids shouldn't dress up as Vader?

    Another well-thought out post, Alpha.

    I'd rather have little girls dressing up like Jyn than a ton of other female movie characters out there.

    I'm kind of half-expecting the younger kids to be confused when TLJ comes out...

    "Rey is alive?! I thought she remembered she was Jyn Erso and died in the last movie?"

    My 8 year old and 6 year old cousins seem to have them confused. That seems like a bigger issue than Jyn dying (everyone saw Vader die, Anakin fall, and they still dress up as those characters), to me.

    Though it doesn't stop them from being casual fans, they still enjoy the movies. So do my 38ish-year-old cousins, who still get Anakin and Luke confused, but I've given up on them at this point, they still enjoy the movies.

    Oh come on, not everyone is a Star Wars geek like us. The general population still get Anakin and Luke confused, I've had to correct that more times than I can count. I've met Star Wars fans who thought Rogue One was Episode VIII on premiere night. I'm just saying confusing Rey/Jyn is more of a concern than some kid dressing up as Jyn (since kids dress up as kid-killing, mutilated Anakin/Vader without anyone fussing).
