Let op: SPOILERS!!!
In Star Wars: The Last Jedi uit 2017 had actrice Kelly Marie Tran haar debuut in de franchise als het personage Rose Tico. Ze werd voor een groot avontuur gekoppeld aan Finn (John Boyega). In het recente Episode IX is ze amper te zien.
Het blijkt dat we Rose slechts 1 minuut en 16 seconden te zien krijgen in de 2 uur en 22 minuten durende negende Skywalkersagafilm. Dit tegenover de 10 minuten en 52 seconden in The Last Jedi. Hiermee doet de situatie een beetje denken aan hoe er met Jar Jar Binks werd omgesprongen in de prequelfilms, al lijkt Rose Tico een stuk geliefder bij de fans.
Heb jij Rose gemist?
Online blijkt niet iedereen het eens met deze keuze om Rose amper mee te nemen in The Rise of Skywalker.
Sorry, I realize I didn't say this loud enough.

Rose Tico made history as the first WOC lead in a #StarWars live action movie... And, she was reduced to a few lines. She could had easily joined the group on the adventure, but sure, make her a background character in #TheRiseOfSkywalker . 🙄 pic.twitter.com/j29WeaYPXN

Real talk, brand new character Beaumont / Dominic Monaghan got to say more words than returning character Rose Tico / Kelly Marie Tran in #RiseOfTheSkywalker and I'm actually livid about it.

the way they did kelly marie tran's character dirty after all the backlash and racist harassment she received in tlj making her character, a main part of the cast to a mere extra with two lines is very sad... rose tico deserved better pic.twitter.com/7F6xnl4xE2

rose tico deserved to be a main character. she deserved to lead the fight against the ones who ruined her childhood. she deserved to avenge her sister. she deserved to get the recognition she owns for her devotion to the resistance. pic.twitter.com/ETwwNFPnNk
