~ Rose to Finn. |
Rose Tico is one of the secondary protagonists of Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi and a major character in Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. She is a human mechanic and pilot who fights in the Resistance due to her strong desire to see the galaxy free of corruption and tyranny, stemming from a traumatic childhood in which she was constantly exposed to organized crime.
She is portrayed by Kelly Marie Tran.
She joins Finn in his mission to find a decoder and decrypt the codes to a Star Destroyer that would allow the Resistance a victory. The two alongside BB-8 went to Canto Bight to meet Maz Kanata's "master codebreaker", but were arrested by the police. Rose and Finn met DJ, who told them that he could help them escape. After escaping from Canto Bight with the help of a young slave, the trio went onboard the Supremacy, but were captured.
While said mission fails, Rose manages to escape to the newest Resistance base, an abandoned Rebel Alliance outpost. When Kylo Ren threaten to fire a Death-Star-level cannon at the base, Finn tries to use a mothballed fighter to detonate the cannon, but Rose stops him and does it herself. She ends up gravely injured, but saves Finn from a certain death. Finn and Rose developed romantic feelings for each other during their mission. After Luke Skywalker distracted Kylo Ren, Rose and Finn reunited with Poe Dameron, meeting Rey on the Falcon.
