Ultimately, Rose's decision to save another character's life, an act that resolves her arc, is twisted out of context for fans to justify hating her. Watch Kelly Marie Trans emotional reaction to artists healing poem about her Star Wars character Rose Tico Just in time for Star Wars Day, EW debuts an exclusive clip of Kelly Marie Tran. It's very clear that his ship is going to fall apart long before it reaches its target, and that his sacrifice might not change anything, much like how Paige Tico's sacrifice, noble as it was, really didn't save the Resistance. In this line of thought, it wasn't that Poe overstepped authority, plotted a coup, and Holdo and Leia's plans and was directly responsible for the deaths of Rose's sister and much of the Rebel fleet.Īll of this seems to ignore the context of the final scene, where Finn is told by everyone to stand down but refuses.
ROSE TICO ACTRESS SERIES
According to many of these criticisms, everything went wrong because Rose saved Finn, and not because of a series of people making mistakes and failing, only to learn from failure, as is the theme of the movie, stated pretty overtly by Yoda. Many of the specific criticisms about Rose in The Last Jedi revolve around the end of the film, and the people who hold those ideas will argue that Rose is the reason for everything bad that happens at the end of the film. This is all despite her relatively normal physical strength, and it goes to show that standing up against those who you can't overpower is bravery. This is best illustrated in her first scene, where she cries for her sister, then clings to Finn in order to keep him from hurting himself. She just has a lot of love for the people around her and wants to stand her ground against those who will take them away. When asked why Kelly Marie Tran and her character Rose Tico were both sidelined so badly after her important supporting turn in writer-director Rian Johnsons The Last Jedi, Terrio explained that. She doesn't have a grant mission statement or access to the Force. Rose Tico and Finn needed to literally exchange character arcs Rose needed to be disillusioned with the Resistance and the entire war, she needed to. The failure of Rose’s arc was the mistake of the directors not the actress. Rose doesn't fight because she's strong, but because she wants to protect those she loves. They hired the actress of Rose because she’s Asian. She isn't a fighter, but that doesn't make her non-essential. However, at the same time, many fans are drawn to her for that very reason. It also doesn't help that a third of her scenes take place during the casino sequence on Canto Bight, which are arguably the weakest link in The Last Jedi. Moreover, some criticize Rose for talking about love and overly idealistic concepts, saying that her points distract from the film's central conflict of good and evil. Â Relegated to off-screen research duty, Rose was a complete non-factor.RELATED: Star Wars: General Leia CGI Issues Led to Rose Tico Cuts Instead, she was literally reduced to the background. I had genuinely hoped to see more of her in The Rise of Skywalker with both a demonstration of her acting talent and her character’s greater importance. For me it was a waste of the talent Kelly Marie Tran can bring to the table. Mainly I felt the character’s story arc was unnecessary and plagued by poor writing. Admittedly I was one of the critics of the Rose Tico character. Abrams, despite claims to the contrary, worked very hard to correct many of the perceived wrongs of The Last Jedi. The question is why? Kelly Marie Tran/Rose Tico reduced to afterthought in Episode IX She logged a miniscule seventy-six seconds. According to the Slate report, Rose appeared in Episode IX for barely over a minute. To the contrary, her screen time decreased by nearly ninety percent from The Last Jedi to The Rise of Skywalker. The film neither gave the character greater due, nor provided Kelly Marie Tran the opportunity to show that Rose was a worthy entry into the Star Wars character log. One reporter over at Slate clocked the time Rose Tico spent on camera in The Rise of Skywalker.

Actress Kelly Marie Tran appears at the world premier of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in Hollywood on December 16, 2019.
