I don’t get why people are saying “oh people are going to hate the turtle aliens for sure!” They are easily the least offensive, most normal thing in the show lol. I loved the porgs in TLJ too. I’m much more concerned with everything else going on.
For me it’s because it happens a lot with Star Wars. People complained about the Ewoks in the OG trilogy, people complained about both the porgs and the caretakers in the sequel trilogy, and people complain about a lot of the things targeted at children in both the Clone Wars and Rebels, despite both being kids shows (eventually incredibly mature and well done kids shows but a kids show nonetheless) so I’m just assuming people will be complaining about the turtle people. And I do enjoy the Turtle people. I also agree that there are much bigger problems in this show like the really bad and slow pacing and the god awful Hera and the republic subplot.
