NALA SE.

Let's go 11 then

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I see you gave me an excuse to choose violence.

NALA SE.

She is my FAVORITE female character in the whole franchise and I'm so proud that she is. I'm proud that she's a character others are so confident they understand and say terrible things with their whole chest, giving me a chance to see their whole ass.

Nala Se was introduced early in TCW. She was a medical doctor on a brand new medical station who refused to leave until everyone was evacuated. The frame pans to show injured Clone Troopers floating in bacta tanks, vulnerable and non-ambulatory; it will take great pains and time to get these men onto hospital ships. The people who begged her to leave weren't other Kaminoans or even Jedi; it was CLONES—Clones who valued her as someone who could provide medical care for their injured brothers.

I don't believe that Nala Se intended to let Fives be killed or come to harm. I also don't think she was in a good position. I have a number of theories about her actions. One of them that I really focus on is her interaction with Shaak Ti. My takeaway is that Jedi and Kaminoans were intentionally distrustful of each other—I think this was Lama Su and Palpatine's machinations. She kept trying to get Fives separately, and so did Shaak Ti. Both of them talked to each other in dehumanizing language, but I think that was both of them trying to talk how they thought the other expected them to talk. Both Shaak Ti and Nala Se had to look detached. I also don't think Nala Se trusted the Jedi. Kaminoans appear to be mostly culturally atheistic and find religion to be ridiculous. Nala Se was also in a good position to be manipulated to possibly hold the Jedi unfairly responsible for the treatment of the Clones.

I love the fact that she pretty much was Omega's mother. Omega was being raised as a Kaminoan child; she was dressed like one and even wore the headdress of an important young Kaminoan. Omega was thoroughly educated in Nala Se's craft and even knew where secret entrances were. Nala Se helped TBB escape and take Omega with them. She paid money to protect Omega. She sacrificed repeatedly FOR Omega. The woman was in a terrible position over and over again and tried to do right. Her people's soul was sold to the devil.

To be frank, Nala Se gets blamed for the fuckwad Lama Su's cruel and manipulative idiocy and Halle Burtoni's overall fuckery.

PS. I am not going to engage in bad-faith arguments or debates. Respect that I have a different opinion on her, or just don't say anything at all in my posts. I will just block people who try to start things on these posts.
