Rogue One Reactions Shake The Internet

When the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer dropped, many people took to Twitter to express their feelings.

Later this year yet another Star Wars movie will be released, and some fans freaked out in a negative way.

A trailer for "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" was released on April 7 with a female lead played by Felicity Jones. Her character, Jyn Erso, seems to be the main protagonist of the movie, just how Daisy Ridley's character Rey was in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was as well.

In such progressive time in the world, where feminists are coming out strong and voices sing for equality every day, one might think that people would be more supportive of the fact that there are finally more female leads taking control. No longer do women need to only play the role of damsel in distress.

However, some Twitter users spoke their anger in less than 140 characters, just to show disdain for "another female lead."


It's just now, it's their time to shine.

Of course, not everyone is upset by the casting and story line. Many people have expressed their excitement to having a female character--as long as it's an amazing movie!


Most thought it was hilarious that so many people were actually upset.


Of course, some were indifferent, but mainly, because they are children who do not care whether it is about a female or male hero. They have yet to learn that sometimes society is full of backwards thinking.


Regardless of the negativity surrounding the very few who are upset about a strong, independent woman leading such a popular franchise, so many more people are excited to just see that the story looks promising.

Female lead or not, Lucasfilms Ltd. are moving in a great direction with their choices in characters and stories, and fans are only continuing to hope for the best regardless of the gender of any of the characters.

On that note, something to think about is even Kylo Ren proves that it doesn't matter whether one is male or female, anyone can throw a hissy fit anyway.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
