Over the coming weeks, alternative explanations for Tran’s tiny role may emerge-rumors about a rushed shooting schedule and a secret director’s cut are already floating around-but the damage is already done. In doing so, they’ve set a terrible precedent of rewarding fans’ bad behavior. Abrams agreed that something was wrong with Rose as a character, then they should’ve corrected it by writing Rose better, not by writing her out. Cutting Rose out of the story, regardless of the reasoning, gives those people exactly what they wanted. After The Last Jedi, Tran was harassed by disgruntled fans and subjected to racist and sexist insults, information that could hardly have escaped their notice: She wrote an op-ed in the New York Times about it, after all. Terrio says Rose wasn’t deliberately sidelined, but the filmmakers must have known how her tiny role would be perceived. If one Star Wars production could do all that for a little green alien, why couldn’t another take the same precautions for a flesh-and-blood member of the cast? (Remember the slap!) For another, Fisher died before The Rise of Skywalker had begun production, so it’s hard to believe there wasn’t a backup plan in place in case any of the scenes involving Leia didn’t work out because of a lack of “photorealism.” On The Mandalorian, the creators went to great lengths to ensure that they had options for “The Child,” aka Baby Yoda, shooting duplicate scenes with and without animatronics. For one, even if it were necessary for one of the main characters to stay with Leia, it’s not clear why it had to be Rose as opposed to, for example, Poe, who had a much richer relationship with Leia in the previous films. This explanation is unpersuasive for a multitude of reasons. Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Surprise Reference to a Certain Jedi, Explained.
