I say that because I felt like Rose was a complete cash grab, and the most pointless supporting character in franchise history. She’s worse than Jar Jar Binks. The second I realized she was going to have more than 30 seconds of screen time, all I could imagine was the writers going “well, forced diversity is what’s hip now, so let’s throw a random chubby Asian chick”. That, and of course the whole casino planet segment was pointless and added nothing to anything. |
I just think she was poorly used, along with Finn, on a pointless story arc that kept them out of the way and unintentionally sabotaged the mission.
The arms race plot point was fine and worth entertaining, but so much of it was unnecessary. If the goal was for it to highlight minorities, it severely backfired, as they undermined the resistance's cause and were relegated to tangential role.
