As much as I get it, I guess this is a good way of showing that she's valued for her acting not just her looks, you know?
You nailed it.
Some seem to be forgetting that they are trying to get the best actor/actress playing these parts, not if they're beautiful or not.
And I'm certainly not worried about there being a Jar Jar character in TFA. JJ has made it clear of his disdain towards him ;)
