rogue one has a stellar last third but takes off super slowly and it's a textbook case of passive protagonist making no decisions = we don't get attached and thus we don't get invested. Jyn makes no decisions for the first twenty plus minutes iirc and that's a problem.

the plot happens to her and she remains passive, swept along by fate and circumstance. this means we learn nothing about her as a person because choice under pressure is how you reveal character. a starving rey refusing to sell bb8 for food reveals character, eg

I get that it's an ensemble but Jyn is the central character and not making any choices is not good storytelling.

I found it so odd that they introduced her by saying her name along with a list of aliases. It was confusing, and at the end of the movie I didn't remember it.

really felt like they justified her existence via plot rather than organically growing her character

For sure, I couldn't really tell you what she's like. Just what she ends up doing.
