If their dynamic were more balanced, with Finn providing a challenge to Rose in some way, or with more moments of commonality balancing out the "challenge" dynamic, it would have worked much better. That being said, it would probably not be an issue if she were an interesting contrast character to Finn. Sooooo in other words she is a female character whose whole raison d'etre is to revolve around a man. Finn needing somebody else to go with who would actually challenge him and push him and contrast with him was where Rose came from. So I realized I had to come up with something else. I knew something was wrong when I looked at their dialogue and realized I could interchange any of the lines. It was just these two dudes on an adventure. Poe originally went on the journey with Finn to Canto Bight. But if they did have hyperdrive.that asks a whole lot more questions about the nature of their slow speed chase.Īs much as Rose is praised for supposedly representing the film's progressiveness, Rian's on record stating that she was created entirely to give Finn someone to "challenge" him, after he found himself unable to write that kind of dynamic between Finn and Poe. He simply wanted to make sure Rey did not come back to the fleet and wanted to get the beacon as far away as possible. One last thing as a side note, what was the deal with the escape pods anyway? Did they have hyperdrives? If not then Finn's plan was even more heroic if kinda suicidal. Yet his actions if successful would do more for the Resistance than Rose and her shocky stick. He has literally been awake for just a few hours after the events of TFA. Like you mentioned he also isnt even technically part of the Resistance. He is trying to save Rey, who objectively is of more value to the Resistance than 400 Roses. I also despise how even though he isn't even trying to run away for himself anymore, he only decides to try and escape once he finds the tracker from Leia, Rose ( and the movie) treat him like he is being cowardly or shirking some duty. It is so obvious that Rian Johnson wanted Rose to have that monologue to lecture us the audience, not Finn, and it sticks out due to that and also stylistically. Rose talks down to him like he is a spoiled idiot when if anything they should bond over similar but different hardships or maybe she should be the one learning from him. So.he understands loss, pain, suffering, a terrible childhood and the evil the First Order is capable of. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then within the last week ( even more recent for him, im sure for him he got KO'd by Kylo and then woke up in TLJ) he has endured all the hardships of TFA, saw Han Solo killed in front of him, and then had his back sliced open by Kylo. He was stolen from his parents at young age, raised in the harshest spartan environment, stripped of all individuality to the point of not having an actual name, and then forced into brutal combat where one of his only friends died in his arms. She ( or the writer) seems to forget that Finn is a child soldier. Or if he was just some guy from any normal place in the galaxy. It would be one thing if Finn was a former First Order officer who was sheltered and then turned when he found out what they were really doing. I hate how she ( or is written to) talks down to him about her childhood.
