I liked how plucky and heroic and idealistic Rose was, to almost a foolhardy degree. Everyone was screaming at me when I said I liked her character. And I very much disliked when JJ made her a nothing in episode 9. She was all but written out of the movie, in a seeming desire to erase The Last Jedi, and all the elements people complained about, were reversed/retconned. So Rise of Skywalker was a sequel to Force Awakens but not the last Jedi making a sort of duology and no trilogy, I feel like this was a huge mistake.
How do they move forward in the next movie, I have no idea where the story can go. But I’m sure that is why writers get paid to be creative.
