Trust me, I am going somewhere with this: the fandom’s most celebrated ship (romantic pairing) is Finnpoe, or Stormpilot, as some like to refer to it. This claim may sound ridiculous, but readers already know that about me. Their input into this controversy should, as always, be ignored and disregarded for their racism alone – they went in planning to hate Rose and left the theatre doing exactly that. ![]() The fact that Star Wars thought to include not only a woman, but an East Asian woman, could not have flown beyond racist fanboy scanners. With this all being said, Kelly Marie Tran’s (who plays Rose) Vietnamese identity has trudged up all sorts of fandom-based racism that we all half expected. There is nothing wrong with Rose as a character it was merely Johnson’s execution of the addition that made me question it. She’s everything young girls need to see in the Star Wars universe. I love Rose as a concept – she’s dynamic, forward thinking, family oriented, and brave. I’ll be the first to admit I was thrilled with the prospect of a new female character (like, finally), but the execution of said character was less than life-changing.
