hmmm
- kelly marie tran’s character is called ‘rose’
- from what little I can see of her costume (basically a boiler suit?), it is not dissimilar to the famous ‘rosie the riveter’ getup
- she is a maintenance worker, i.e. one of the people doing all the work necessary to keeping the resistance effort actually going, just like rosie the riveter, a symbol of woman’s contribution to the war effort
conclusions:
- rose is named after rosie the riveter????
- there oughta be SO MANY of the famous ‘we can do it’ posters (not actually meant to feature rosie but still linked with her now) featuring kelly marie tran created in the next coupla months
Kelly Marie Tran as Rose in The Last Jedi
“This possibility that any of us could step up and become a hero, that’s where Rose comes from,” [Rian Johnson] tells the crowd, saying Luke Skywalker and Rey are cut from similar cloth — nobodies from nowhere who became vital parts of galactic history. “She’s not a soldier, she’s not looking to be a hero. But she gets pulled into a very big adventure with Finn.” [x]
