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

taahko:

the first time chirrut touches bazes face is before they even start dating and when hes done he kinda laughs and says “i didnt need to do that. i already knew you were handsome” and baze doesnt sleep for 3 days bc hes still thinking about it

you know, if palpatine ever showed vader the death star schematics, wouldn’t vader - being a mechanical genius - have been able to pick out the flaw with the reactor shaft?

imagine palpatine launching an evil monologue while vader stares at this gigantic flaw, sweating

#you know i get the feeling vader really wanted the death star to get blown to smithereens (via @jerseydevious)

well, i got the same feeling. imagine vader just standing there, not listening anymore, only staring right at this super. obiovious. (to him) USELESS FUCKING FLAW and just not saying anything. maybe he should say something. sheev’s probably testing him or something. 

but as emperor’s monologue drags on, the fact that no one here, besides vader, is aware of the issue is becoming more evident. 

darth “everything proceeds as i’ve foreseen” sidious didn’t notice it. he’s staring right at the reactor shaft. he’s not seeing it. so vader keeps mum.

then rebels steal the plans and send a couple of x-wings against the friggin’ death star. as far as tarkin’s concerned, it’s like sending a couple of flies to stop an avalanche. and our man vader in that moment is like, “welp, i suddenly discovered my new calling as a flyswatter,” and gets the fuck out of that station

“Is… Is no one else seeing this? Someone on the design committee must have seen this. Tell me you’re all seeing this.”

“Seeing what, Lord Vader?”

“The huge obvious…”

You know what? Screw these guys. I told them this budget-killing monstrosity was a bad idea.

“Obvious lack of any place to get a decent coffee. This thing is the size of a small moon. Would it kill you to call Starbucks and tell them to open up a location in it? I hate Imperial-issue coffee.”

“We’ll get right on that, sir.”

one of my biggest takeaways from rogue one is that I loved how surly and selfish and initially unlikeable jyn erso was. and I bet if she was a dude, 95% of the fandom would agree with me.

#I mean you know there’d be 5 million posts about how she’s gruff and emotionally walled off#but ‘soft’ deep down lmao#and how she calls everyone ‘my friends’ after saw’s rebels attack them#and says they need to be protected bc saw knows her#even though she’s only known them for like 5 minutes#she leaps in front of k2s0 to protect him from baze as well#and latches onto cassian immediately when he decides to trust her with his blaster#bc just like him she desperately wants to connect with someone and to have someone invest in her that way#is an entirely foreign feeling#but one she desperately needs to feel#although tbh I liked her from the beginning#I like characters that are complicated and have layers#and guess who else was selfish initially#han solo - and we’re never even told why#with jyn we know exactly why#even luke’s entire storyline is focused on protecting those around him rather than fighting for a general cause#he was pretty pissed when he found out he was being trained to kill his father too ( @priscillajeanohare )

#it seems weird to me #that ur all in love w han who was selfish and only decided to fight for himself #i mean with jyn we can see her horror and reasoning since she was a little girl #but ppl are like um yeah dont care #shes got so much more backstory than most of the fem characters we get in sw   #she was complicated as hell #unlikeable at times yeah #developed a hell of a lot #she ended up dYING for the rebellion y'all #she was finally on par with the dude characters we love no matter what #and ppl are bitching lol ok (via @stripperanakin)

Rogue One Spoilers Ahead

So that last scene on the beach, with Jyn and Cassian holding each other as the wave of the Death Star’s blast rolls in…

I have some thoughts about this.

Specifically, I noticed that, even though they could have just leaned into each other and held hands or touched foreheads or even just had their shoulders to the blast, they didn’t.  Jyn is holding Cassian tight to her, looking directly over his shoulder into the wave of oncoming light, and he looks back over hers, away from the water.

And, see, throughout the first two thirds of the movie, prior to Jyn rallying to the Alliance cause after her father’s death, the thing that distinguishes her from the other characters is that she’s willing to close her eyes to the threat, to not look up at the Imperial flags.  Cassian, on the other hand, is entirely defined by the fact that, to be blunt, he’ll look at the war head-on and do the dirty work, he’ll spy and kill and manipulate because it has to be done.

And I think it says a lot that, upon their deaths, they fly in the face of those character traits.  With Cassian at her side, Jyn has the strength and pride in herself to look straight into the blast wave bringing her death and smile.  And with Jyn beside him, Cassian can look away and close his eyes and pretend that everything will be okay.

full offense but the scene of baze malbus holding chirrut imwe and begging him not to go is a more iconic love scene than anything nicholas sparks has ever touched sorry i don’t make the rules

Rogue to Rogue

Guys, guys…

Rogue One. Rogue Squadron. 

Wedge Antilles was in the skies above Scarif. He saw and heard first-hand the Rogue One crew. He watched the Death Star seal their fates. He very likely knew Cassian Andor and at least some of the strike team members.

And after the 5-minutes to refuel and take a breath between Rogue One and A New Hope, he’s part of the same Red Squadron that shows up in The Empire Strikes Back under a new name.

Rogue Squadron isn’t a boast.

It’s a memorial.

And the call sign Rogue One is never used again.
