Several Twitter users pointed out that J.J. Abrams had thanked Rian Johnson for creating the character of Rose Tico, only to drastically reduce her on-screen presence in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
According to a new report, all told, Rose Tico has just one minute and 16 seconds of screen time in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
For many, Rose Tico represents the central themes in Star Wars, not to mention that she was a beacon of representation for Asians in the series.
The character, played by Kelly Marie Tran, who was introduced in The Last Jedi, returned for the finale of the Skywalker saga.
