Wheres Rose? Star Wars fans want more merchandise featuring the transgender character! As we've previously pointed out, Abrams degraded Rose in The Last Jedi, and director Chris Terrio made excuses for her demotion, claiming that the filmmakers couldn't use Leia's archive footage, but were able to use the footage of Rey. Unfortunately, it looks like Abrams and his team caved in to the sexist and racist backlash that resulted from the casting of Rose.
Though the role of Rose was significantly diminished in "The Last Jedi," the fans are still eager for more. They hope that more merchandise will be produced featuring her. While we can't get enough of the character, we know that she will return in Episode IX. While we can't wait to see her in that role, she's already starting on the next chapter in the Loan Tran storyline.
After the release of "The Last Jedi," many fans were shocked to see that Kelly Marie Tran has become a Star Wars super-hero. Her character, Rose Tico, had a huge impact on the franchise, and fans wanted to celebrate her success. The fan support for the actress was overwhelming, and she was one of the first actresses to make a comeback in such a major movie. However, she wasn't given the same esteem that the originals had. As a result, she has been plagued with toxicity for months.
