![]() ![]() It’s a little reductionist, even if you consider the target audience is in the 12-16yo age range, and people don’t like being talked down to.Īnd Crait is stupid all around, but Rose takes the cake. Yeah, most people think animal cruelty is wrong, war profiteering is evil, and enslaving people is an affront to human rights. And I think the thing that irritates a lot of people is that the things the movie pushes through her aren’t all that revolutionary. It’s Rose teaching Finn, the guy who was enslaved by the FO for all intents and purposes, about why animal cruelty and slavery are bad. On Canto Bight, it’s Rose teaching Finn, you know, the guy kidnapped from his parents as a baby and indoctrinated into the First Order as a child soldier, about how bad war is and how evil war profiteers are. And why was a maintenance worker doing security work in the first place?) (Which is its own can of worms anyway, for example, why? On whose authority was she doing that? Either she or whoever is commanding her is forcing people in what seemed to be a volunteer militia to remain in a situation of nearly certain death. When Finn tries to rush off and save his friend, usually seen as a heroic move (see ESB and AOTC), Rose zaps him. She basically undercuts all of Finn’s attempts at heroism, and not in a way that is satisfying, and is essentially the mouthpiece for Rian’s hamfisted moral messages. ![]() I think it’s because TLJ was a movie that was meant to deconstruct Star Wars and Rose was one of the vehicles for that. I just don't feel as strongly about Rose as everyone else. Did she and Finn breakup off screen? They didn't have great chemistry but I saw no reason to break them up, it's not like Finn got with anyone else anyway. I know George Lucas reduced Jar Jar's role in Episode 2 because of fan backlash, but at least Jar Jar got to do something important (giving the Chancellor emergency powers, which essentially changed galactic history). I think they should have given Rose a bigger role in Episode 9 just to spite the haters, but no. She was a bubbly character, and we don't see a lot of those in Star Wars. There are many things about The Last Jedi that angered me but Rose was not one of them. However Rose is just a very awkwardly written love interest, and she's played by Kelly Marie Tran, who is absolutely adorable. But usually, it's because those characters have done something, or multiple things, that pisses nearly everyone off, so it's somewhat understandable.Jar Jar Binks was gratingly annoying and Holdo occupied a similar role in the Star Wars fandom as Professor Umbridge did in Harry Potter, so I can understand the ire for those characters on some level. I've been a part of many fandoms with characters that have received overblown hate. ||| Join our Discord! ||| Question?
