But I see this mostly as an issue with the narrative, not the location. If the location had served more of a purpose, it would have been fine. Rather than Finn and Rose looking for a person to get them onto the starship, I would have kept them both on the planet, looking for something on the planet that will help their friends (such as a communications array to call for rebel reinforcements). Have the First Order send troops to the planet to flush them out, leading to a big action scene on the casino planet.Yeah, they really needed to have Rey more involved and have the plot on Canto Bite tie more closely to what's going on with the rebels. Rather than having the slowest chase in history, I would have the rebels seek shelter on Krait earlier, so there is time to have a big battle there. I felt the movie set up a big battle, only to rob the audience of one.The getting a thing, to get another thing, to get to that other thing, was really poor screen writing. I would ditch it as well. I got the feeling that JJ didn't like Rose very much as a character and didn't know what to do with her. It feels very strange how The Last Jedi builds up a Rose/Finn relationship, only for Rise of Skywalker to completely ditch that idea. I would have liked to see a pay off between her and Finn. Maybe when Finn was a stormtrooper, he was directly involved in something horrible regarding Rose's family. It would explain why Finn wants to keep some distance from her, and perhaps their plot ultimately revolves around whether Rose is able to forgive him for what he did. Maybe Phasma shouldn't have been killed off so early, so she can reveal this to Rose.</blockquote>
