CRAZY RICH ASIANS Director Jon M. Chu Lobbies To Create A Disney+ STAR WARS Spinoff Series About Rose Tico

Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu has voiced his support for Kelly Marie Tran's character, Rose Tico, and has lobbied Disney to create a spinoff Star Wars series centered on the Resistance member.

Kelly Marie Tran's character Rose Tico was introduced as a major supporting character and key member of the Resistance in Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi; however, her role was greatly diminished in The Rise of Skywalker, prompting anger from her supporters on social media.

Her limited screen time in Episode IX, the final of the Skywalker Saga, led to the hashtag "#RoseTicoDeservedBetter."

Tons of Rose Tico fans voiced their support for the character on social media. That includes Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu, who actually lobbied Disney to allow him to create a Disney+ Star Wars spinoff series that would revolve around Tran's character.


Tran was celebrated as the first woman of color to be cast in a significant role in the Star Wars franchise. However, her role in The Last Jedi was also criticized as not being essential to the overall plot of the trilogy. Apparently, The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams felt the same way and essentially wrote her as a much more minor character in the film. It was reported that her total screentime in the two hour and 22 minute movie was just one minute and 16 seconds.

Do you think the Star Wars franchise would benefit with a Rose Tico spinoff series, or is it time Disney explores another corner of the galaxy far, far away.

If anything she made me appreciate Jar Jar Binks more. Mandalorian and Fallen Order have helped to keep Star Wars alive, no need to destroy their efforts.

Honestly I felt bad for Tran after The Last Jedo, but if I really gotta be honest I'll that her character isn't worth a spin-off series (just like how Cassion Andor doesn't seem that interesting)

@MalseMarcel -

You have a profound lack of imagination.

But seriously, I have no doubt you'll be proven wrong with the Andor series at least. Keep in mind, just because you may not be able to think of something interesting for the characters to do, doesn't mean it's impossible for someone else.

Wait and see.

@Humperdink - Ofcourse it will be interesting, but I think there are far more interesting things out there to explore. Every spin-off has been set during the Skywalker Saga, even though there are thousands of years of timeline to explore.

Cassian Andor can be interesting, but to convince me they really have to come up with something that only he can do (and not someone else, somewhere else in the timeline)

Truth to be told I never encountered any Rose Tico fans in my life .But I don't understand the hate against her to , she's just à minor characters she's doesn't need a show but in any way she maked the movie bad .

Look can we just not? I get it I really do, my girlfriend is Vietnamese. Asian representation in pop culture and specifically Star Wars is important and she’s the only Asian in the franchise but like stop it. There’s about 1000 characters more deserving of a show than her she is the only part of these movies that I really agree was something I disliked and not through fault of the actress but she just is pointless as a character

@Ha1frican - Kitser, Anakins friend was played by an Asian.

@GarthRanzz - pretty sure that kid was middle eastern, also if he is Indian I know technically India is a part of Asia but almost no one means Indian when someone refers to someone as Asian

@Ha1frican - He was Indian.

This isn't Tran's fault, but Rose is really grating. She comes off as a preachy teacher's pet/hall moniter type. Quick to criticize anyone not living up to what she thinks a Resistance fighter should be. Even if it's as small as not delivering bad news hopeful enough.

@geronimo162000 - a lot of people who were part of rebellions and stuff in real life would probably be like that too.

@Toonstrack - I know idealists like her exist. I try to let it go by understanding that because of he sister's sacrifice, she dealt with it by going all in on what she considered Resistance ideals. But still.

@KyloBen - look up interviews and stuff witj people who were insurgents or rebels under a real regime. A lot of them take what they are doing very seriously and consider inaction to be just as bad as the enemy

@Toonstrack - Yeah and none of them are like Rose Tico. One of the dumbest things i've heard on this site.

@TheBigR - You can critisize a character without being insulting and a dick to the actress playinh her.

Anonymity truly brings the worst in people.

@Jeight8 - it's funny that you assumed he was talking about rose when there's a clear "him" at the end of his sentence..
