'The Mandalorian' Had Better Fat Representation In One Episode Than All Of 'Star Wars'

The Duchess of Plazir-15 and Captain Bombardier in Lucasfilm's "The Mandalorian."

We’re once again reminded that those who are fat in “Star Wars,” and by extension the real world, are inconsiderate of others and force them to suffer.
