Fan Reactions

While many fans welcomed her into the franchise, both she and her character fell victim to horrible racist and sexist abuse online, leading to Tran quitting social media[1], and Rose's page on Wookieepedia, the Star Wars fandom wiki, being locked.[2].
When she was first introduced as part of the cast, many Star Wars fans were happy to see that Tran herself was a fan of Star Wars. While active on social media, she often wore fannish clothing and showed support for various fandoms.
