Some of you are too afraid to admit this but we all know Star Wars works best when it goes full soap opera
my kitchen pipes are fucked and so I have to clean all my dishes and clothes in the bathtub and I honestly feel like either a miner's widow in D12 tryna earn some income or a very poor sentient who's in the rebellion and showing everyone how to make do without electricity
jyn 🤝 having an intense inherited gulit that gives you pretty haunting eyes that make folk fall in love 🤝 cassian
cassian andor is proof all you need in life is big brown eyes and cathlioc gulit
this but it's Cassian holding K2's head after Scarif
is it cool if I invite my decapitated head
every time i get too sad i think about jyn making fun of bodhi wearing the orange flight suit
thinking about bodhi rook
did he accept the death of his family back in Jedha or did he deny it till his own death? do they remember him in the rebellion? did they tell finn about the imperial defector carrying the message that the rebels could destroy the death star? did they tell finn how he was kind? how he was soft? how he did the most difficult thing with as much grace as he could?
in the universe where he lives, does his hands become softer from hours polishing his ship? or are they rough from the many tools he uses to fix the crafts that come in to distract himself? do his hands ever stop shaking when not occupied? does someone (maybe cassian, maybe luke, maybe kes) tell him he can relax, that he is amongst friends now and no one judges him for the past but rather what he does with his present? does he cling to Chirrut and Baze, his last reminders of home? does he hold jyns gaze and see her as his sister? or does he just see the eyes of galen telling him he can make a difference?
Jyn and Cassian deserved the time and space to take the harsh parts of themselves forged by other people and smooth them down with their own hands. They deserved a lazy morning with a warm, soft sunrise and a cup of caf.
Softness and gentleness do not need to be earned but if it did, they would've earned it a million times over.

K2SO to cassian after discovering a protocol that states friends check up on one another -
Jyn Erso could kill me and I'd say thank you
Cassian Andor could push me out a plane and I'd ask if he was okay
RebelCaptain could break my heart by being together and I'd still say their the cutest couple in the galaxy.
Who are you? You know who I am. I'm Jyn Erso. Daughter of Galen and Lyra. You've lost.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
If second season is even half as good as the first season was, I will be pleased.
that haircut... rogue one cassian vibes methinks
Love this character
cassian who kept coming back for jyn, risking his own safety
cassian who came back for maarva's funeral and to rescue bix, and made sure he saved everyone he could
cassian who came back for maarva, and wanted to take her someplace where they could be safe
keef, who looked back to his fellow inmate who could not swim, who didn't jump to the sea without him, but instead got pushed
kassa, who never got to go back to his little sister
A Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
A Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
The first two paragraphs of the opening scroll of Star Wars is as follows: “It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.”…

Review: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2017)
Rating: 9.8 of 10
We all know how it ends. Princess Leia got ahold of the plans to the Death Star, a moon-sized weapon capable of destroying an entire planet, which she then give to R2-D2 at the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope. This is a story of that first victory of the Rebels.
While the Star Wars trilogies focus on the Force-wielding people, Rogue One is the story of the struggle of the ordinary people. The closest thing to a “Chosen One” character is Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), daughter to Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), a high-ranking officer of the Empire. But while his father had sympathy for the Rebel’s cause, Jyn has grown apathetic since she was left abandoned at 16 years old. She has connections, but it was her choice to help the Rebels that determines her character.
Other characters include Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), a true believer of the Rebel’s cause with willingness to do anything for it; K2SO (Alan Tudyk), an unlikely friend in the form of reprogrammed Imperial droid; Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) and Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen), a couple of warrior monks and sworn protector of the Kyber Crystals; and Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), a defecting Imperial cargo pilot.
This is Star Wars, like you can live and breathe in it. Rogue One is definitely grittier than the trilogies, more grounded–less quip from the likes of Han Solo, no flashy lightsaber fights, or even the cuteness of a BB-8. It’s street-level Star Wars, but Rogue One does have lighter moments too (’I’M BLIND!’ is definitely the best line the movie IMO), and it is most definitely not without hope.
Hope, after all, is the stuff that Star Wars is made of. These people do not need to have the Force, or be the best of anything, they are just willing to do what it takes to make a difference and change the galaxy for the better. Nothing is going to be easy, and maybe not everyone is going to make it until the end, and yet, somehow it’s all going to be worth it. Devoid of Jedis or a Chosen One, Rogue One only has characters distinguished by their believes and their choices, and that’s okay. That’s kinda the point.
Rogue One did excellently to introduce us to all these new characters, and we fall in love with each of them effortlessly, each for different reasons. Most importantly, Rogue One succeeded in accomplishing what prequels and spin-offs should always do: make the universe feel bigger, more fleshed out. In it, we get to see the different corners of the galaxy and the people who inhabit it–the people who built and lived by it. I found Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), an almost Vader-like rebel extremist leader, to be a very interesting part of Star Wars history (We'll get to see more of him in Star Wars: Rebels series!).
Rogue One had to do so many things for it to succeed. It had to live up to the legacy of the original and prequel trilogies, not to mention The Force Awakens; fit the timeline and canon; and tell a compelling story with entirely new characters. It succeeded in all accounts. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story maybe is not a perfect movie (because nothing is), but to me it is a perfect Star Wars story.
One of my favorite little bits from K2SO is when he softly says ‘Cassian, I’m sorry about the slap.’ you fully realize how much this sarcastic trash can really loves his reprogrammer.
Does anyone have any good fanfic suggestions about Rogue One that they’d like to share?
The way this fandom is:
70%: In denial. No, they totally lived. Nobody’s dead! But they definitely have some trauma/injuries so angst fest! Yay! (But still alive.)
10%: Some of them got out alive, right…?
9%: Nah, not going to get into that. Instead, here’s a wonderful backstory!
1%: Nope, they definitely died. Let’s see what their thoughts were as they died a horrid death!
