BODHI MY CHILD, OH MY GOD, MY POOR BRAVE BOY.
I just, okay, so, Bodhi is the messenger, right, that’s his WHOLE JOB. And he spends the entire movie trying to get a message to the Rebellion and be believed. And at first he’s grabbed by Saw’s people, and they don’t really believe him and they’re not really the Rebellion. And then he’s jailbroken and kidnapped by Cassian (Rogue One is basically just a bunch of people Cassian Andor kidnapped), and he gets to the Rebellion but they don’t believe him–or at least not enough of them.
And then, God, and then he’s down on Scarif and he finally gets through. It costs so many lives, so many ships, but he gets his message to the Rebellion and they hear him and believe him. There’s someone up there. There’s someone listening. Bodhi the messenger has finally delivered his message.
And he smiles as he dies.
