I think it's a good thing that the last SW I had watched was Episode III; this was my first teaser of the Disney era, and what can I say: I will not watch this one, just as I did not watched the others.
(For me, the Star Wars franchise is Star Wars from 1977, and I don't care about the other films or television series.)
it works really well, finding out her effect on diplomacy in the empire era, and where her skills came from. It only became goofy once dibsney made her into space jesus... but that entire movie was bad. Predibsney she was a total badass feminine character (something disshills cant get enough of when THEY make one)
