What Makes Her a Base Breaking Character?[]
What Do People Like About Her?[]
- Many believe that Rose represents everything both the Resistance and the Rebel Alliance were fighting. The strength and the courage to continue opposing evil without sacrificing your humanity in the process.
- Her motivations for opposing the First Order, that being they enslaved her when she was a child and forced her to work in the mines is understandable in the eyes of her defenders.
- The "protecting what you love" line helped reinforce Rose as the heart of the movie in the eyes of her fans.
- After the critical backlash to Rose where she was called a worse character than Jar Jar, people who watched the movie with that mindset began to realize that Rose wasn't really that bad of a character, outside a couple of cheesy moments.
- Her fans were disappointed that Rose was sidelined during most of The Rise of Skywalker's runtime.
What Do People Hate About Her?[]
- Many detractors felt Rose served no other purpose to the plot of The Last Jedi than to be a love interest for Finn.
- Detractors feel like her romance with Finn came out of nowhere and that the characters had zero romantic chemistry.
- Rose's detractors feel like her subplot with Finn steals the spotlight away from the conflict with Rey and Kylo Ren.
- The fans felt that Rose sacrificing herself to save Finn only put the Resistance in more danger. Namely because, after that scene, the First Order fired the remnants of the superlaser that breached the Resistance base.
- In contrast, her "saving what we love" line felt preachy in the eyes of her detractors.
Trivia[]
- The reception to Rose in the eyes of her detractors was so negative that several fans began referring to her as a worse character than Jar Jar. The racist and misogynistic harassment Kelly Marie Tran received as a result forced her to delete her social media accounts.
