With all the posts about Leia being hot and no one talking about Padme

Yes.

I don't think Leia is hot

No

Leia was hot for when it first came out

For an eighties movie babe Leia was pretty hot. Much like Ripley from Alien, hot. But those were different times. Now Rey, that's a different story altogether. She's scorching.

Why does it come down to attractiveness when it's the female star? Why don't we consider performance?

"Urrrrrrrrr Arrrrrrrrrrrr Urrrr Ahhhr Uhr Ahrrr Ahhr" translates to "Your mom is way hotter than you Leia"

who* thinks.

Who thinks leia is hot :D
