On first watch, I truly thought that Rose had established herself to be a First Order spy and was trying to kill Finn. Instead, Finn pops out like nothing happened. Falls should hurt, cuts should bleed, and getting t-boned in something that flimsy going that fast should kill or cripple someone. I know it's a space movie and they are the heroes, but even in movies with heroes you still play by some kind of logical rules. The maneuver should have killed them both.Rian did this so it would be extra surprising, but it just left people scratching their heads asking, "Where the hell did she come from!?" It's impossible for Rose to suddenly appear ahead of Finn, and with enough time to bank and hit him from a perpendicular angle. We get an aerial shot showing that Finn is the only speeder heading towards the cannon. Rose should have never been able to pull off the maneuver.It has been established numerous times that Finn cannot pilot ships.He's incredibly close to a planet destroying laser but both he and his ship are no worse for wear. He's the only target heading into an large army but no one is shooting. Finn's speeder should be destroyed pretty quickly.And it's not just her, but everything in the scene: Nothing about her actions or her words make any kind of sense. This is perhaps one of the most tone deaf and illogical scenes I have seen in a movie. > But the scene that really ticked me off was when she T-bones his speeder on Crait. There's no excuse for racism and misogyny against the actress or her character, but there's also no excuse for calling people names simply for disliking a poorly-written character. Instead, TLJ shoehorns her into the movie in a way that makes people hate her. There would've been great ways to keep her character in TLJ but have her work toward the plot and advance character arcs, rather than reversing them and harming the plot. Finn was FINALLY putting something he loved that was bigger than him - all his friends in the Resistance- over his personal survival. Saving what we love" also makes NO sense because Finn was trying to save the entire Resistance. Rose stopping Finn from ramming the siege cannon turns out not to matter because the Resistance still gets out alive, but this entire scene is horribly written and the character that causes problems here is Rose. If this is true, then don't write him into this situation in the first place. A common attack on this argument is that "Finn's a main character and should survive until at least TRoS". Not only should this have killed both of them, it denies Finn a fitting end to his character arc. I understand that she grew up without massive trappings of wealth, but the beautiful casinos and alien designs would have been much nicer if Rose wasn't surly the entire time.īut the scene that really ticked me off was when she T-bones his speeder on Crait. While the existence of the Canto Bight scene is debatable, that's not an argument I'm making- I'm saying that Rose's demeanor and attitude toward Canto Bight are unfounded and incorrect. Count DOoku himself is an example of a character that has wealth (from his title on Serenno) without selling weapons. That doesn't make any sense look to today's world, where arms sales aren't dominating the global economy. On Canto Bight, she becomes furious at the people there because "there's only one way they get this rich- selling weapons". Her portrayal as a moral philosopher makes me irritated because her viewpoint is, quite frankly, bullshit. I do, however, object to the substance of her character and her traits. I have nothing against Asian people and/or women, and I don't object to the existence of Rose Tico. Before you sic the "racist/misogynist" dogs on me, let me just make one thing clear.
