Why in the world does anyone want rose? Seriously? Is there some much better back story in comics or something that wasn't in the movie? She did less than bistan. At least he got off a couple blaster shots.

There are also people asking for Padme. Pretty extraordinary.

Padme was vital to the movies and showed skills in diplomatic and battle situations. Rose just fulfilled a stereotype about women drivers. I'm not calling for padme but she makes sense

Rose is just a diversity checkbox, that's all. I won't be surprised if they actually pull off the whole Poe-Finn thing to check another one...

With all due respect, this is a really ignorant statement. Regardless if you liked the character or not, it is wrong to assume everything is done for diversity's sake. I mean, it's Star Wars. We have weird aliens all over the place. If you feel "diversity" was forced, it is you who have a problem.

I’m not so sure you are correct, she seemed just thrown in there for no reason in the first place. Sounds like the checking of a diversity checkbox to me

She’s a foil and a motivation for Finn to play off his base instincts (to run in fear and to foolishly play the hero) and an interesting character in her own right—a resistance member we never see in other movies. Not from a rich family or a famous name. Not a hot shot pilot. Just a maintenance worker from a poor background who has a very different perspective and motivation than the heroes we have met so far. She has different priorities and motivations, and yet she’s part of the same resistance as conflicted naive Finn, insubordinate hotshot entitled Poe, reserved and aloof Holdo, cynical brash Princess/General Leia, fiercely loyal Chewbacca, and angst-ridden powerful Rey. Diversity = good storytelling and good character development.

Correct. Diversity itself is actually good for the saga. Now, racial diversity* is something no one should consider a factor when it comes to making an opinion about a movie. The actors are playing a character, and that's what you're seeing onscreen. You think Rose was a bad character? Fine. You think she was a bad character because she was racially forced? You are being irrational, not to mention low-key racist.
