    this is BS, I just watched the series and she clearly has respect and appreciation to her direct under which is a man; and her decision was denied by her superiors which are men with good reasons, even she admits it: "this is a hunch" she says, and she later explains the reasoning of her hunch with "this is how I'd do it"
    Reply: "well when you have more data and a bigger picture come back to me and we'll discuss it" which is understandable (albeit frustrating when it happens to you and you later end up right)

      Her direct under is an effeminate subservient man. She has no reason to lash out at him. How come that an empire dominated by white male patriarchy has so many women and diverse officers at top levels? Btw, we barely seen any scene with her. You know she's gonna be increasingly annoying.

    Unfortunately in legends, the Empire was discriminatory towards females, seeing them as just above aliens in the hierarchy in regards to imperial institutions - Admiral Natasi Daala and Major General Corvae from legend being examples.
    However, the episode released and Dedra isn’t a girl boss. I assume that was simply what the actress saw her as, and not as how the character is portrayed.

    She did just accurately describe 90% of the Imperial officer corps. Again, this isn't "takedown" worthy, homie.

      Yeah, everyone knows the Empire was always about gender politics...

      @@JarJarAbrams ??? she was just describing how the Imperials are depicted as in all films and shows, and in most novels and comics. i don't care if she's a woman or not, if she's a somewhat competent imperial officer who isn't a kitten eater and doesn't defect I'm happy, because that has not happened in anything we've seen on screen yet.

    Ya know what, it’s exactly the kind of people in the comments and the reason this video exists in the first place that we need more characters like this. Apparently, she pisses off all the right people which is good as gold in my book.
