They can't let the Rose thing go. This is dee-licious:
Disney keeps failing to explain one of the worst things about ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’
I think the explanation is pretty simple, Rise of Skywalker already has such a schizophrenic ADHD pace and feels like it has almost no time for even the most important aspects of its own story, putting in more secondary characters simply wouldn't have worked and would have made the pacing even more off putting.
Also why is it okay for TLJ to shit on what JJ did in TFA, but JJ can't take his own steamy dump on TLJ?*
He's SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS GUYS! Isn't that what made critics love TLJ so much? People totally expected more Rose and we got less Rose. Expectations? Subverted.
*I realize JJ had some involvement in TLJ, but not as significant as he did in TFA and RoS.

It was obvious why Rose was sidelined.
Audience hated her.
