Yes, there’s the whole “She was supposed to be with Leia but the CGI was troublesome” argument, but I think that’s pretty flimsy. Rose should have been there, even if she ended up staying on the ship for some scenes to hold down the fort. She should have been with Finn and Poe and Rey when they went out to find the Sith wayfinder. She’s a fine character but nothing special and I’m still a little surprised that she was given that much screen-time in The Last Jedi to begin with when we should have had the core cast spending more time together instead- one of its most egregious errors.īut we have to deal with the hand we’re dealt, and in this case Rose was an established character with a major role and an important relationship with Finn.

And I say this as someone who was never really all that into Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) to begin with. I don’t care what the reasons are for Rose Tico’s unbelievably brief screen-time. Rose Tico got the shaft Credit: Disney / Lucasfilm The end of Rise of Skywalker on Exogol gives us precious little time getting to know that planet compared to the final act of Return of the Jedi on Endor. We haven’t gotten long, extended scenes like the Jabba the Hutt sequence on Tatooine or the opening of Empire Strikes Back on Hoth. One of the great things about the original trilogy that pretty much every new Star Wars movie (including Rogue One) has failed at, is taking time to establish place. Suffice to say, if they had made Episode IX all about discovering that Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) was back and revealing Rey’s true parentage, and then Episode X was about the Resistance finally taking down the Emperor once and for all, it would have had a lot more room to breathe.

I’ve written at great length about this, so I won’t go into more detail here. The pacing is so frenetic that when you think Chewie (Joonas Suotamo) is dead, you barely have time to process it.d. Probably my number one problem with The Rise Of Skywalker was just how rushed it felt, especially in the first act. I’ve written about this problem previously, but it bears repeating.
