Yeah, I agree with farerb, the Rose haters are not the ones angry about her limited role in TROS. #RoseTicoDeservedBetter and #WheresRose were both trending because of her fans, which also goes to show that despite what the haters claim (that she's one of the most hated characters and people only like her because of identity politics), she clearly has a strong fanbase. I haven't seen Poe or Finn trend ever and nobody really seems to care for them and rightfully so. Poe at least got a lot of praise in this recent film which seemed to win him over some more fans and he's had a successful comic book series or two, so I'll give him that.DisneyJedi wrote:Let’s face it. The ST haters are total brats and hypocrites. They complain about The Force Awakens being a rehash of A New Hope, yet when The Last Jedi goes in a different direction story wise, they gripe about that. They hate Rose as a character? Lucasfilm decides to make her role smaller in The Rise of Skywalker. And guess what? The ST haters whine about THAT! Make up your damn mind, people!
Anyways, I’ll be honest, I know Eddie Redmayne is an excellent actor, but I don’t think I could see him playing a dark and brooding character like Kylo Ren. Eddie comes off as more awkward and charming, which adds to his lovable performances and makes his acting seem a bit more natural. It’s part of why his acting in movies like Les Miserables and the Fantastic Beasts films come off as natural.

Meanwhile Ben Solo has created two viral challenges (the Ben Swolo challenge for TLJ and the Ben Solo challenge for TROS) that both heavily trended. #BenSoloDeservesBetter or #bringbackbensolo have both been regularly trending in foreign countries like Italy and other European countries. Interestingly enough, the film isn't doing well in Italy so wonder if there's any correlation there.

Fans raised more than $75,000 for Adam Driver's foundation to commemorate their love for Ben Solo.

BTW, Daisy Ridley also has a foundation that fans are donating to but it hasn't gained as much traction as Adam Driver's yet.
As far Eddie, he's a really good actor but I don't know if Kylo Ren was a role suited for him. I'm glad Kathleen Kennedy pushed Adam instead. I would like to see Eddie in a Star Wars film one day, perhaps when Fantastic Beasts is over.
