Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

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.

i’m honestly really emotional about the sulu reveal in star trek because finally, finally, we have a character in a major mainstream film that isn’t a its-so-hard-being-gay-we’re-cheating-on-our-spouses-its-so-scandalous-and-sad oscar-bait drama. finally, hollywood might be recognizing that gay people can exist in universes other than sad, reality-laden ones that end in tragic death. we’ve taken the first step, into sci-fi, and it’s an incredible feeling.

now, all we can do is hope that other major studios take the hint.
