![]() ![]() ![]() “The Rise of Skywalker” is full of shockingly inexplicable creative decisions - we’re talking about a movie with a huge fleet of Death Stars here. That doesn’t mean it is the only possible reason, obviously. Actually, that’s the only reason I can think of. ![]() The big one, as we all know, is that a bunch of freakin’ nerds conducted a months-long harassment campaign that drove Kelly Marie Tran off social media after “The Last Jedi” came out. I can’t pretend to know exactly what the thought process was behind this decision, but there are not all that many reasons why they would push Rose out of frame like this. And at the end of “The Last Jedi,” Rose and Finn have basically become a couple, so it would make sense to bring her along on Finn’s adventures with Poe and Rey. After all, extraneous or not she was inarguably one of the film’s main characters and even got to deliver a line of dialogue summing up what amounts to the moral of the story. John Boyega promised that the main crew of this new trilogy would spend a lot more time together in “The Rise of Skywalker,” so really all that needed to be done was to include Rose in that crew. She never got to be part of the group, and thus felt kinda extraneous. She spent most of the movie with Finn (John Boyega) going on a side adventure that had no real bearing on the main plot and thus, unlike the characters who were in “The Force Awakens,” never actually got to establish herself as part of the new trilogy’s ensemble. When Rose was first introduced back in “The Last Jedi,” it wasn’t necessarily the cleanest fit. And while the way the movie treats Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) is not even remotely the weirdest thing about this movie, it’s certainly one of the most blatantly obvious bits of pandering that JJ Abrams’s film does. There are so many strange things that happen in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” and it’s rife with odd creative decisions. (Spoilers ahead for “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and Rose Tico’s role in it in particular) ![]()
