![]() A common attack on this argument is that "Finn's a main character and should survive until at least TRoS". Not only should this have killed both of them, it denies Finn a fitting end to his character arc. I understand that she grew up without massive trappings of wealth, but the beautiful casinos and alien designs would have been much nicer if Rose wasn't surly the entire time.īut the scene that really ticked me off was when she T-bones his speeder on Crait. While the existence of the Canto Bight scene is debatable, that's not an argument I'm making- I'm saying that Rose's demeanor and attitude toward Canto Bight are unfounded and incorrect. Count DOoku himself is an example of a character that has wealth (from his title on Serenno) without selling weapons. That doesn't make any sense look to today's world, where arms sales aren't dominating the global economy. On Canto Bight, she becomes furious at the people there because "there's only one way they get this rich- selling weapons". ![]() Her portrayal as a moral philosopher makes me irritated because her viewpoint is, quite frankly, bullshit. I do, however, object to the substance of her character and her traits. I have nothing against Asian people and/or women, and I don't object to the existence of Rose Tico. Ultimately, this willful misinterpretation of the film's events and its meaning come across as an attempt to justify pre-existing hatred for the character.Before you sic the "racist/misogynist" dogs on me, let me just make one thing clear. 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. 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. ![]() 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. She doesn't have a grant mission statement or access to the Force. Rose doesn't fight because she's strong, but because she wants to protect those she loves. 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.
