He's not John Wayne and talks about his feelings.
Basically, he fits into the girly manga love stories.
He's also unapologetically evil, so make of that what you will.
The biggest problem with nu Star Wars is the amorality underpinning it all. The moral center of the story and characters is racial and gender identity, so evil can be just as good as good. It’s disgusting.
