12. Rose Tico’s Treatment

Rose Tico played a major role in The Last Jedi, challenging Finn’s worldview and delivering an anti-war message. In The Rise of Skywalker, she was pushed to the sidelines, appearing for just over a minute. This drastic shift felt like a reaction to backlash rather than a natural progression. If Rose had been given a meaningful role, her character could have strengthened the story and added depth. Her removal highlighted poor planning and left a gap in the sequel trilogy’s character development.
