Makes me wonder, how small of a role does she have?
She is not in the movie anymore.
It happened with TFA before (some announced character disappearing from the final cut). Nothing unheard from this trilogy.

"Don't cave in to racists that were never gonna buy your merch, pander to other people who will never buy your merch instead!"
What do you mean, sadly? This just means Disney will under crossfire.But I have to sadly disagree on your point that it won't go anywhere since Twitter mobs always gets what they want. Resetera is already forming some kind of smear tactic to raise awareness about Disney's "white shitlords".
I mean "sadly" as in Rose "fans" will bitch so much that they'll get what they want without a problem as usual unlike pre-Disney fans who are never listened to, and once the triggered Rose fans get what they want they'll go back to sucking Disney's corporate cock like nothing ever happened. Buuuuut if by some miracle Disney-Lucasfilm doesn't listen to them for once, then we can safely say Disney-Lucasfilm is fucked at both ends."Don't cave in to racists that were never gonna buy your merch, pander to other people who will never buy your merch instead!"

Dobson believes what he’s told to believe and nothing changes his mind.
Yeah, but does that really make a difference? They'll bitch, cry racism, call Disney bigots, then get what they want and their controversy will end instead of keeping the fire alive and they'll go back to shilling. Only way this can turn out well is if Disney doesn't give them what they want, then they'll keep on bitching and Disney will lose its virtue-signaling "nu-fans", effectively screwing themselves on all fronts. But the chances of the Twitter mob not getting what they want is slim since all they need to do is pull out the racism/victimhood card and they win.I agree, but I have to point out something. I don't think Rose has fans (besides maybe a handful of people).
I mean those SJWs are fans of what Rose is supposed to be that is "muh minority representation", and they are fans of receiving ass pats on twitter. But I don't think they actually care about Rose as a person at all.
Their bitching is fine. Its more than fine. The problem is that when they bitch, they get what they want in a flash. But if by some miracle Lucasfilm doesn't pander to them, than Disney will definitely find itself screwed and on the "shitlord companies list" with very few woketards like Kotaku and the Mary Sue being willing to shill for them, unless Disney pays to keep them shilling, then its a loss.Good. Let them stir the pot. This cancel culture horseshit looks like it's starting to burn out, or at least come to a head in 2020.
In this case, I am not so sure. Disney won't recall all their Shirts and reprint them with Rose on them obviously. They will -at best- offer a few Rose-centred pieces, maybe an alternate design with one of these Logos and Rose still in it, but the thing is: Disney would have to order that stuff in huge bulk, but they are aware that Rose is one of the worst shelf-warmers out there, so they can't make a lot of merchandise for Rose... Rose Fans and these virtue signalling people aren't enough to warrant Disney giving in at large.Yeah, but does that really make a difference?

Fair point. I know I sound a little pessimistic but its what I've come to expect. Then again there's no doubt you're right after the disaster that was the Rose toy and merch line. Disney wouldn't want to repeat that blunder.In this case, I am not so sure. Disney won't recall all their Shirts and reprint them with Rose on them obviously.

I think, some minor things aside, these people won't get what they want. Maybe one shirt or two, if even that.
The light novel/anime Saga of Tanya the Evil/Youjo Senki has something like that, since all the mages are armed with normal-looking WWI-esque bolt action rifles just like the normal soldiers but the mages can fly around and load spells into their guns to shoot super powerful shots at other mages.You know, the mental image of combat wizards wielding Assault Rifles with magic wands attached to the muzzle like a bajonett is such a ridiculous idea that it's actually totally awesome. Could be the foundation for a really cool schlock movie.
Looks like a potential controversy is a brewin'. At New York Comic Con, guests were treated to the reveal of a bunch of new Disney Wars merchandise which had been previewed sometime earlier, however there is a glaring difference between the current merch and the prototype designs. Rose Tico has been edited out of all merch she was in, including the official poster for IX that replaced Rose with ugly slug man. This has caused the exceptional Twitter mob to form an uproar.
Merch with a few then and now comparisons:

Where's Rose Tico In The New STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Merch? - Nerdist
It's Triple Force Friday and a lot of fans are noticing that new Star Wars merchandise is leaving out one important character: Kelly Marie Tran's Rose Tico.nerdist.com
This has led to the creation of the #WheresRose hashtag on Twitter and now there's rumors of a boycott surfacing among Disney's nu-fans! Great job Disney! You successfully alienated not only the core fanbase, the normalfags but even your nu-fans! Bravo Kennedy!
Although I'm a little worried since this means that either Disney-Lucasfilm is legit exceptional or @Jaimas is right...
Well, the sad thing is, it usually does work. But I think in this one case, I have a bit of optimism that Disney will accidentally piss off some SJWs... they already did that with not hiring a quadriplegic jiddish-speaking muslim transgender in a wheelchair to direct the next trilogy.Fair point. I know I sound a little pessimistic but its what I've come to expect. Then again there's no doubt you're right after the disaster that was the Rose toy and merch line.

So hopefully we can expect equal levels of hate from both disillusioned fans and new "fans". I mean even those who aren't fans of Rose are huge Disney shills, like Sleemo who only give a shit to virtue signal, so if this Rose shit is enough to break them, we can safely that shit is gonna get really spicy from here on out.
Is bad. Really. Fucking. Bad. Only J.J.Abrams is capable of creating the amalagation of everything wrong with the franchise in just one movie. The events are told in an convoluted and nonsensical way. The way they ruined Palpatine's character in an almost surgical way, the way they wasted Kylo's character, the way the amplified Rey's perfection at levels that shouldn't even be possible in fiction. Is a fucking fever dream of fanservice, pandering and bad writting, all in one script. I thought that the last movie was just going to be mediocre and audience-pleasing. But this has the potential of being a disaster even bigger than The Last Jedi. I cannot believe this leak is true. Is inconceivable to me that somebody could create this and think "Yep, perfect to end the franchise". Hell, even J.JAbrams couldn't write something THAT shitty: his writting was always more mediocre than awful. But a part of me knows that its probably true and these hacks wrote this and they're gonna put in it on the cinemas.
which makes me think that a previous rumor about them betraying him for Palpatine are true.
I don't man, I don't view Disney or Star Wars as being secret communists. The people running it are "limousine" liberals, who only pay lip service to certain socialist ideas. Their capitalists through and through...
Most of these corporate ideas of inclusiveness are hamfisted ways of increasing profitability....
That ultimately fall flat because there hollow and superficial...
Nothing wrong with diversity, it just doesn't mean much narratively. You still have to make compelling characters. Instead, it's the mere fact that inserting 'whatever demographic' is compelling in of itself....
When this whole shebang began I thought originally that this was started as part of the usual progressive takeover schtick: grab thing, warp thing to be a vector for propaganda, until it inevitably fails, find new thing, repeat. I'm starting to think there's a more sinister motive underpinning this.
When you analyze the works of the postmodernist and communist philosophers, especially that sick fuck, Engels, you will notice a re-occurring theme: that the glorious global communist uprising is being held back by things that are, for all intentions, pillars of society and it's really hard to justify getting rid of. Things that normally no human being would really consider a threat to anything, like the nuclear family and religion in general, but are absolutely a threat if you're trying to force communism at gunpoint. I think the intention is to slowly erode everything people used to take any joy or pleasure in and take them out under the idea that it will force them to adopt their ideals. The problem is that really doesn't work when everyone hates what you've done.
Basically, they thought that when the only thing left is their gray brick of doom, then people would love the gray brick or have nothing. The problem, of course, is that no one wants the gray brick of doom, and tearing the heart out of their community won't kill them. They'll simply refocus on a new cause - they were nerds who enjoyed their insular turbonerd shit - and since you destroyed what they once cared about, they will devote all the time they once spent enjoying their shit on the destruction of everything you've done in response.
In conclusion, Liberty Prime was right.
First of all, the entire reason this diversity shit is being pushed is as part of a massive social engineering project. If it truly was capitalist they would have pandered to the fans - or at least an audience who would have been watching - and made a decent action flick that would have printed money if nothing else. Instead they went full issues and in so doing pissed even the Chinese moviegoers off. If you actually cared about making money, then the fact that they could fuck up the un-fuck-upppable to the tune of hundreds of millions is the kind of thing that would get people sent to the gallows at other companies. That they're all still employed means that there is zero fucks being given about the profitability (or lack thereof) of this venture.
The second problem is that they've already admitted to the agenda publicly. Kathleen Kennedy basically admits to it in several interviews (check earlier in the thread) but the entire purpose of the new trilogy was to dismantle Star Wars as a whole and make it into their thing by essentially slicing out all vestiges of the series it was. Kennedy went on to brag about how her staff is 50% women and how many men with actual qualifications she turned down in favor of her own coterie of hand-picked tagalongs. We know from Lucas, Hamill, and basically everyone involved with the original trilogy that any concerns about or recommendations regarding the direction of the new trilogy were brushed off.
Mind, this is all on top of the fact that Hollywood has been pretty openly in favor of communist ideology since the 60s, hired multiple hard-left dipshits that routinely go on about how awesome Socialism is, and push the intersectional feminist angles - which, it needs be stated, are all steeped in communist ideology. Considering how many of their writers openly support ANTIFA, would any of this surprise you?
