Chirrut and Baze are great because it’s the first warrior/monk pairing I’ve seen where the monk is the one saying “hold my beer” and doing reckless shit and the warrior is the one shaking their head and doing damage control

I think my favorite discrepancy between the Rogue One promo material and the actual film is that the promos make it look like this was a very carefully put together team and in reality it’s a bunch of people that Cassian Andor more or less kidnapped.

Honestly I think one of my favorite parts of the Ahsoka novel is when Ahsoka is thinking about her options and when she realizes that she could just go off to some random uninhabited planet to live out the rest of her days in exile, she immediately dismisses it as a terrible idea and joins up with the rebellion instead.
#gee, #it’s almost as if hiding in exile is ludicrously self-indulgent in the middle of a fight for freedom for the galaxy, #that deciding to not use your lightsaber your force powers or even your voice to resist, #you are allowing this evil to continue unchecked, #man if padme had manifested as a force ghost, #she would be manifesting in yoda’s hut, #banging pots and pans together, #every hour of the day.

He is so DELIGHTED
“They want to hire a part of me.”
Everything about this, from Carrie’s viscerally presented and excellent point, to the pun, to the look on Stephen’s face like he just fell in love. Everything is so, so good.

- Obi Wan: that boy is our last hope
- Yoda: no, there is another
- Me: uhhhhh, do you mean Leia who you just told Luke to forget about and let die? That 'another'?

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.
While I was making cherry almond clusters, I was thinking about that post about Leia being Bail and Mothma’s big plan to deal with the Death Star, and now I’m sad that we never got to see Obi-Wan deal with Leia.
Can you imagine? He sees the message from Artoo and he’s like, “wow, she looks like Padme, wow, Bail and Breha did a great job, but she’s in trouble so let’s go.” And then he’s stuck on the Falcon with Han and Luke and he’s like, it will be so nice to talk to a calm, reasonable person again, because Han is amusing but annoying and Luke is–Luke is too many memories of his father and a sweetness that Obi-Wan doesn’t want to see stripped from him, and it’s not the boy’s fault Obi-Wan has all this baggage, but Leia will be refreshingly baggage-free.
And then he meets her.
omg poor obi wan
it’s not like he ever forgot about anakin’s temper and passion but I guess he never thought what that would be like to deal with after being raised by two consummate politicians and rebel leadersAnd her impatience and willingness to shoot first and maybe ask questions later.
Obi-Wan would suddenly feel even more ancient and yet also twenty years younger all at once. And she would just be like, “Well, do you have an idea, General? I’d hoped you were smarter than these two moon jockeys you brought with you–my father speaks very highly of you. But if you need me to take charge, get out of the way.”
‘I just thought you’d be more like Padme’
*Leia huffs in annoyance, pulls a blaster out of nowhere and wades in to sort shit out*
‘Okay, I may have conveniently forgotten that about Padme’
Ha yes! And meanwhile, Han’s like, “whew, she’s finally yelling at someone else, you handle her, old man.”
And Leia is like, “I do not need to be handled!” each word punctuated by another blaster shot. “Do you moof milkers have a plan for getting out of here, or do I have to do that myself, too?”
Luke is following along like it’s the latest holodrama Uncle Owen never let him watch, half in awe and half jealous, though he’s not sure if it’s Obi-Wan’s or the princess’s attention he really wants.
