![]() The Rise of Skywalker also fails to give Finn and Rose's romantic relationship any real resolution. Even though that's true and established in the movie, it doesn't make up for Tran's lack of screen time. Instead, it seems to mean her place in the Resistance is higher up than the maintenance worker she was when she met Finn. Before the film's release, Tran even promised Rose had a bigger role in the Resistance in The Rise of Skywalker, which some may have taken to mean she'd have more story. So, many fans were hoping the character would get a story arc of her own in The Rise of Skywalker. One of the valid criticisms of Rose's story in The Last Jedi is that the character mainly exists to teach Finn a lesson about the Resistance and the war they're fighting. Abrams praised Johnson for casting Tran as Rose, but then didn't give the character much of anything to do, let alone an arc of her own. Rose's reduced role is all the more confusing due to the way the character was talked about by the cast and filmmakers ahead of The Rise of Skywalker's release. Tran and her character still have fans, though, and those fans were met by disappointment when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker released and it appeared Abrams had capitulated to the vocal, hateful minority. Both Boyega and Johnson defended Tran against the online harassment, but the trolls had made themselves heard: They didn't want Tran or Rose Tico in their Star Wars. ![]() Some took their dislike of the character too far and harassed Tran off social media, with the actress receiving such racist, sexist and altogether toxic hate she deleted her Instagram in June 2018, six months after The Last Jedi released. After The Last Jedi hit theaters, Rose became a favorite among many Star Wars fans, but there were also those who didn't like Tran's character. Though Rose wasn't introduced as a true new member of the trio's group, she was an integral part of not only The Last Jedi, but Finn's story, and Johnson's movie left the relationship between Rose and Finn unresolved. ![]()
