The new Star Wars merchandise is hitting the shelves and there is a distinct lack of a certain character from The Last Jedi: Rose Tico. Assigned to guard the escape pods, Rose subdues a fleeing Finn, goes on an adventure with him, and falls in love with Finn at the end of The Last Jedi. She also saves Finn from certain death. Kell Marie Tran endured mistreatment on Instagram for her character Rose Tico, so much so that she left. Why isn't she on the merchandise anymore?
Did Disney and Lucasfilm bow to a vocal minority of fans? Did the analytics come back and showed Rose Tico merchandise would not sell well? If the forecasts were bad, why would they put the Rose Tico character on the proofs? Kelly Marie Tran deserves to know why her Last Jedi character is being mistreated by Disney and Lucasfilm.
Kelly Marie Tran is of Vietnamese decent. Is it possible that sales in China have something to do with it? The Last Jedi did not do well in China and Rose Tico and Finn had something to do with that.
Has the racism and sexism that has permeated Disney and Lucasfilm for years finally been exposed? In the past, Disney produced such films as "Song of the South" and created very racist cartoons of the Japanese during the war. Lucasfilm has mistreated minorities for years, in particular women. Is it possible that someone inside of Lucasfilm has something against Kelly Marie Tran and removing Rose Tico at the last minute from merchandising was all their plan? Will the fans ever know the truth?
Marvel superstar Brie Larson has stated recently that she wants to be in a Star Wars movie. With her buddy Kevin Feige moving the Disney, it is quite possible he will put her in the next Star Wars trilogy set to be released in 2022. Will Brie condone or condemn the actions of Lucasfilm in removing Rose Tico from the merchandise? Will Brie Larson use her Captain Marvel pulpit to speak the word of truth on the mistreatment of Kelly Marie Tran and Daisy Ridley? Come forth Brie, the Internet is waiting for your answer.
