(Disclaimer : I don't think that Aphra pretty explicit preferences is a major issue for most male Star Wars fans, but hey..)

Aphra is a character introduced in the comics (Darth Vader, then got her own) that can be summarized as ''sociopath Indiana Jones''. In a setting of edgy bad guys, edgy teen bad guys, and cackling vilains, I find that petty crimes from a non-force user are very refreshing.

(Plus her comics features an even more unhinged version of HK-47)
