And others thought it died with the Ewoks, "yub yub". Star Wars has such a massive fan base that it's impossible to classify it. I'm an OT fan, but there are parts of the PT and ST that I like. I don't care about anyone's opinion but my own.
I feel for Kelly Marie Tran, the treatment she received not only was deplorable, but certainly the exact opposite of what she was expecting. Granted, Rose Tico was a terribly pointless (IN MY OPINION, don't want my hand slapped) character, but again, that's the fault of the writer and director. It's certainly not the actresses fault, who can only work within the confines of what's been given.
Same goes with DJ, what a useless pile. But, Benicio Del Toro has a long and well established résumé in Hollywood, Tran does not. Not that it's right, but I believe people are more inclined to forgive a bad performance by a good actor than they are an unknown one. Which again, sucks, but that's what American culture has created.
