I always felt bad for the whole cast, but Ridley especially. I'm not a giant fan of the sequels, but she did the best with what she was given, and in the hands of better writers/directors/execs I think it could've been a very different story for her and her character.

She has a lot of charisma as an actor and person, it was a shame it got wasted and then she took the brunt of the abuse from the toxic fans. A victim of the ego and greed of others.
