I hate the name “Qi’ra”.

I thought “Rio” was worse because it reminded me of
-the place
-the Duran Duran song
-the CG bird movie from a few years ago
so I was taken out of the movie three times at once.

It took me out because my nickname in primary school was Rio.

They should’ve spelled it Kira. Wasn’t Kira supposed to be Luke’s original sister or something at some point. Anyways, I think Kira is a pretty name. Qi’ra is just unnecessary.

I think Kira was Lucas’ name for the character that eventually turned into Rey.

It’s a movie, so I don’t care how it’s spelled. They could’ve had Looook Skywalker for all I care.

I hate all names that rely on the ’ to make them interesting.

Yeah, I find that obnoxious as well. That started with the prequels, didn’t it?
I mean, the apostrophe is supposed to be replacing a letter…what letter is it replacing?!
