Good for him. He was kinda cool as a First Order deserter in TFA, but they turned his character into a joke in TLJ. Literally - he starts out wearing a leaky plastic bag. Then when he tries to do something truly selfless and heroic, he's stopped by a janitor. As for what happens in IX, I couldn't care less.

Y'know, the issue of Rose stopping him from killing himself keeps coming up and I kinda don't get the gripe.

A) We all KNOW he wasn't going to die in that scene/movie. Even if they wrote it out some other way, there was no chance they were going to kill him.

B) Even if they did decide to kill him in that scene, do we all really think that one little measly aircraft that was already falling apart was going to destroy that big ass canon? Maybe, but I don't think so.

C) What's so bad about someone saving someone they love? I know, I know. They hadn't established that they were in love. But that's what happened. She was in love with him and didn't want him to throw away his life needlessly.

As for her falling in loving with him, characters fall in love easily and quickly in fantasy movies. I know its a measly excuse, but there you have it.

Should they have written it differently? Probably. But there it is. I don't see why she gets SO MUCH hate.
