History YMMV / StarWarsDoctorAphra

* BaseBreakingCharacter As of the ''Remastered'' arc, Aphra's behavior has gotten to a point that some readers have come to dislike Aphra for her {{jerkass}} attitude towards other characters, particularly that she lets several of them die for little good reason and that she humiliates [[EnsembleDarkhorse Hera]] throughout the arc, with some readers feeling annoyed that [[KarmaHoudini she didn't get any comeuppance]] besides another callout by Triple-Zero. In addition, many fans are frustrated by how her, despite how much her greedy and sociopathic attitudes end of backfiring, she never seems to learn or grow as a person. On the other hand, other fans have defended her writing with the argument that this is Aphra we're talking about; she's a VillainProtagonist and you're ''not'' supposed to be supportive of her actions nor should you consider her a role model ''nor'' [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome will she get better any time soon]], because multiple characters call her out on her behavior and she acknowledges that she makes little effort to change who she is. The ''Remastered'' arc even ends with Triple-Zero telling her that [[NotSoDifferentRemark even if she does feel bad for her actions, she's similar to him.]]

* MagnificentBitch:

** [[AdventurerArchaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra]] is a rogue archaeologist who believes in guile and [[MightMakesRight might]] deciding one's way. Working as a brilliant operative for [[Characters/StarWarsDarthVaderAndServants Darth Vader]] by gathering information and technology, Aphra manages to fool even the Sith Lord to thinking he had killed her before escaping with her life ahead of her. Later assisting [[Characters/StarWarsLukeSkywalker Luke Skywalker]], Aphra [[HazyFeelTurn betrays him before helping him again]] to bring down worse threats, even as it costs her Luke's respect. Forming an intense relationship with Magna Tolvan, an imperial officer, Aphra later leaves her for her own safety, encountering Vader to distract him and help the Rebel alliance escape his wrath before ensuring her loved ones are safe.
** [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Domina Tagge]] is the charismatic president of [[MegaCorp Tagge Corporation]] and head of House of Tagge, under whose leadership Tagge Co became one of the main assets of the Empire. Recruiting Doctor Aphra as her agent, Domina has her do a missions for the company, from discovering a rival’s scam to hunting down her runaway cousin. Learning about Crimson Dawn infiltration, Domina organises a board meeting to lure out TheMole and recruit a team of bounty hunters hired to kill her. Working with Sana Staros to lure her treacherous nepwen Ronen into a trap and kill him, Domina has Sana and her team released from her service, [[BadassBoast proudly declaring]] that [=TaggeCo=] will outlive Crimson Dawn.
** [[NumberTwo Lapin Tagge]] is Domina’s professional cousin and right hand. Lapin is put in charge of discovering and eliminating Crimson Dawn spies. Helping Domina organise a board meeting, Lapin stands their ground to protect interns during Boushh’s team raid. [[FakeDefector Faking a defection to Ronen’s side]], Lapin has him lured to Domina with confession before sedating him and leaving him at Domina’s mercy.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The comics have had a fairly long stint of Doctor Aphra repeatedly sinking to new lows, getting called out on it, and feeling terrible about it. It was steadily reaching a point where it was difficult for readers to keep rooting for her as a character. While she doesn't relent on her scheming and deceptions, Aphra seems to finally be coming around to actually trying to be a better person. She's starting to tend towards being a more loyal, if unpredictable, ally and is consciously trying to live by at least some standards.

** [[Film/RogueOne Tam Posla (and to a lesser extent, Caysin Bogg)]], for being a ridiculously awesome play on the ByTheBookCop trope by taking it UpToEleven in that he ''refuses'' to break any laws ''even if they're fighting a monster''... unless they harm his boyfriend. Also, Tam and Caysin are [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple like an old]] badass gay married couple.

* HarsherInHindsight: Quite a number of ''Rebels'' viewers found Aphra's humiliation of Hera and mocking the Rebel Alliance after capturing her to be in really poor taste, since those issues were released days after the airing of the episode where [[spoiler:Kanan sacrificed himself to help rescue Hera, save the Rebel Alliance from a future problem, and liberate Lothal]].

* UnexpectedCharacter: A location rather than a character, but no one expected Vader and Aphra to go to ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic Tython]]''.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: As mentioned above, this has started to seep in for some fans, who are frustrated with Aphra’s repeated failures to learn from her mistakes or grow as a person, which they feel creates a predictable and depressing story.

** [[spoiler: She's even told right to her face that the Empire is responsible for the death of her mother, and she ''still'' continues to help them by getting the location of the Rebel's base on Hoth. It's ultimately reaching the point where the readers are hoping she's killed off for her selfish actions.]]
