'The Stoic treats emotion like a cloaked visitor who has knocked on their door. They open the door, greet the visitor, and ask them to reveal their identity before coming inside.' Absolutely brilliantly put, Stephen.

Stoicism is when you can be trusted to understand and respond to both your own and others' emotions in a healthy way and to take on responsibility when needed, for example being the one to break the news of a death to a wider group of people.

Why is the criticism of Ahsoka that, essentially, “she doesn’t smile” but we’ve not heard it levelled against, say, Hayden Christensen’s Anakin or Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett. Could it be her sex…? The sexism in (some) Star Wars fandom is really not going away.
