All fans know is the outward appearance of the movie, which boils down to Tran joining the franchise in The Last Jedi, being harassed off social media as a result, then having her role reduced in The Rise of Skywalker. While Tran's director and co-stars defended her publicly, the decision to essentially write Rose out of The Rise of Skywalker sends another message entirely. Whether or not it was Abrams or Lucasfilm's intention, they validate the racist, sexist criticism of Tran by reducing Rose's role in The Rise of Skywalker.įans don't know the exact details of Abrams' creative process on The Rise of Skywalker, and they won't know why he decided to sideline Rose until he offers an answer. No matter how much fans might hate a character, it does not justify harassing the actor who portrays that character. However, The Rise of Skywalker doesn't exist in a vacuum, it exists in a world where Tran was harassed by racist, sexist trolls to the point that she erased her Instagram - all because she had a role in a Star Wars movie. It's possible Rose's reduced role and lack of screen time may be due to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker already being too stuffed with story. The film was tasked with wrapping up both the sequel trilogy and the Skywalker saga as a whole, so as a more recently introduced supporting character, Rose's storyline wasn't as high of a priority as Rey or Kylo Ren's (Adam Driver). As a result, how The Rise of Skywalker addresses Finn and Rose's relationship comes across as a poorly handled resolution at best or blatant ignoring of this particular Last Jedi story thread at worst. Since there's a time jump in between movies, it's reasonable to think the pair have talked it out and moved on, but it's not clear within The Rise of Skywalker if that's what actually happened.
The only closure appears to be Finn squeezing Rose's shoulder in a manner that can be read as platonic, indicating he doesn't feel the same way as Rose did at the end of The Last Jedi.

The movie doesn't explicitly address the unresolved feelings between Finn and Rose, even with a throwaway line. The Rise of Skywalker also fails to give Finn and Rose's romantic relationship any real resolution.

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.
