Star Wars: The Last Jedi Featurette – “Becoming Rose”
The official Star Wars site posted new video on their Youtube channel focusing on Kelly Marie Tran and how she got the role of Resistant technician Rose Tico in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The video features Kelly’s screen tests with John Boyega as well as interviews with John, Rian and Kelly herself. We also get a glimpse at several new shots from the movie that were not shown in the trailers and TV spots. The video is completely spoiler free for those of you who still haven’t seen the movie.
Rose Tico is a very down-to-earth character that many of us can relate to. Tell us what you think about her and if Kelly did a good job depicting the character.

In the last few days we got several complains from our readers about an ad appearing in our comments section that was causing issues with scrolling the site. It was not happening with everyone (it never appeared to me), but I finally found out what the problem was.
Disqus has a new feature they just implemented. They pretty much forced their ads upon us without any warning or message. And of course you can’t deactivate their ads unless you upgrade your Disqus account. So we had to pay them $100 for 1 year so that the damned ads would disappear.
Sorry about that. Things should be OK now.
Start a go-fund-me to recoup the losses. I’m sure we could all chip in a buck or two to help a brother out.
Speaking of which, is there anywhere on this website that we can visit to make a holiday donation?
Haha, yeah, I’m sure this site is really hurting for money and makes $0 from all the other ads on the site…
You’re the one who doesn’t understand the economics of running a site like this. None of these folks is making any great sum of money doing it: probably less than minimum wage, when all is said and done. With all of your confrontational and mocking comments, you’re becoming the new Kent Kaliber.
Thank you for looking out for your users and having the ad removed.
THANK YOU! I was starting to think I would have to give up reading this site when a single page would use 3GB or more of RAM. It’s completely usable again.
I wish her and Finn had been handled better. I really liked Finn in TFA. To me they felt tacked on. While Poe… absolutely took a massive step forward. It’s almost like they swapped places in this movie. Poe took the stage and Finn took the backseat.
On paper she’s still a cool idea. I’d like to see her actually fix something. Put those skills to work. Like how Chewbacca was always roaring around inside the Falcon while it blew up.
Some people are talking about her character being worse than jar jar… i dont think so, i think she is ok but what i really didnt like was that kiss it seems forced i dont know maybe save that for ep 9…
Imagine this…..
In episode 9 Rose says to Finn… “I love you” and Finn says…
Eh in my opinion there was no need to add another character period. 3 heroes is enough. The story would have been much more interesting if Rey was experiencing her trials on Skyland with Luke while Poe was experiencing his trails with the Resistance and Finn was experiencing his trials on some random adventure tied to the two.The more new “main” character heroes you add to star wars the more screentime is wasted fleshing them out. The OT didn’t feel too long because the only cuts where to either what luke was doing or what leia and han were doing together. Keep it tighter.
Yeah that Lando guy had no place either. What were they thinking
HAHAHAAA https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/80a4f73d58ece707b894f0c36c176a03022d171d61290bf403419862b76ec84f.jpg
I’m sorry but I’m holding for General Hux… I’ll wait.

Much as I loved the movie, mostly for Luke’s story, I still don’t care much for the casting. They need to do better.
I thought that Kelly Tran was great in TLJ. Her acting was more convincing than Daisy imo.
Ah, I love Rose. She just oozes charm; Kelly Marie Tran should be proud.
should be titled ” Becoming the most pointless character ever put in a Star Wars..and then included Phasma in the featurette as well.
I’m sure she’s a great actress but I really didn’t like her in Star Wars. I liked her sister much more and wish they would have used her more. This character was the most boring and too emotional
