Also, I know people who didn’t like Rose will probably disagree, but I think Rose was totally mishandled in this film. I was at least expecting for the gang to communicate with Rose more like she’s mission control or something. Rose really should have been with Finn and Jannah (or just cut Jannah) at the end of the film when they get rescued by the Falcon. Rose risked her life trying to save Finn at the end of TLJ, and now Poe is like, “Where’s Finn?” and Rose says, “Oh, he didn’t make it off the ship.” TLJ Rose would have ran out there and said, “I’m not leaving here without you.”
Finn and Rose didn’t even hug at the end either! Fine, you don’t like this kiss in TLJ, but we can’t even get an embrace at the end?
Hard not to take the handling of Rose as a fuck you to Rose. I was willing to accept the first half, unfortunate as it is, when she doesn’t go on the mission. JJ wants it to be about the trio he set up. But the final battle where she does nothing? When they literally have horses and she doesn’t even ride one? The perfect place to at least throw the character a bone but nope.
