i think the funniest way to interpret their relationship is that chewie is actually han’s surrogate father figure. han refuses to admit it but chewie absolutely sees him as his son.
like trust me i am aware of the “spicy Latino” trope it is unbearable to witness at best and indictive of old bad racist ideas at worst… but when you’re so deadset on trying to avoid it you end up (unintentional as it may be) saying things like “it’s pretty problematic how you’re attracted to this fictional Latino man” like… surely you can understand how that is its own problem
asking my boyfriend to put on a blindfold before we go on a date so he doesn’t accidentally commit racism by being attracted to me
can you BELIEVE nerds are attracted to a tall muscular man in a skin-tight suit with good hair and vampire fangs and a tragic backstory and Oscar Issac’s voice… completely unfathomable
