wow rogue one is really a love letter to the unnamed fighter. no act of help is too small, every deed causes a ripple. luke showed up to blow the death star, and there was the plan to do it–countless of people died to get him that, and luke knows none of them. how many rebel planes get shot down every battle? how many civilians die in explosions? how many died to get the plans to luke? rogue one says you. and you and you and you. every one of you. what will come of it? who knows. something.
alright yall jyn/cassian has a ship name now and it’s rebelcaptain let’s make this a thing
i think that tony gilroy just doesn’t have faith that some people come by it honestly, you know what i mean? like he can’t imagine that a lot of people don’t get dragged kicking and screaming into being a revolutionary, he must think that everyone exists in a state of natural capitalistic ambition and have to be traumatized into caring about the world.
it would be more valuable in the world we live in right now to tell a story of a young man who grew up in a culture of resistance, who was throwing rocks at tanks in the clone wars, who was in anarchist groups by 14, marxist revolutionary cells by 20, burnt out by 25 and yet still able to find the hope at the foundation of everything he does when he looks in the eyes of another young fighter.
but tony wanted to tell a “universal story” against “apolitical totalitarians” that can easily be misconstrued by the right. and they don’t want us to make the connection between a child in a galaxy far far away throwing rocks at tanks with a child in gaza throwing rocks at tanks.

this is lowk an insane stretch but the andor rewriting of cassian does feel That Serious when you take into account that a lot of star wars is designed to mirror real life struggles of empires and survival. it does feel like erasure in a way to say that cassian andor, former teenage separatist and anarchist, rebel party member since his early teens, mentored by other partisans and fundamentally pushed by his experiences into being all these things and who he is, somehow cannot exist, should not exist, has no reason to exist. isnt relatable enough to an audience, isnt believable enough to the average disney plus subscriber. should ideally be replaced. what does that say about the truth and conviction and "believability" of the very real men and boys across the world living similar lives. actually die idk!!!

Jyn & Cassian
Thinking about Cassian in the hangar, deferential and respectful, standing a solid 2-3 metres away from Jyn who was just belittled and dismissed and is expecting him to heap on. And saying, fuck what my bosses all agreed on. "I believe you." And how much weight that has, because he was a good soldier who followed orders even when they meant getting innocent blood on his own hands. And yet faced with this choice that seems comparatively reasonable, that seems like an order that would be a relief compared to most of his previous ones - an order that is protecting the existing rebels, that was presented as preventing needless bloodshed, all at the small cost of telling one young woman who isn't even part of their group "sorry, you clearly believe this very strongly and it clearly took you a lot to bring this to us, but we are choosing not to believe you" - he says, no. He decides that believing this one woman is worth going rogue for just as much as every justified, terrible act before that would have been worth going rogue to prevent.
Thinking about how much that meant to me when I saw it at age 20, in ways I couldn't even explain until a few months later, when for the first time in my lifetime, believing women became a thing people talked about.
Thinking about a man getting the job to make a prequel for this movie years down the line, and setting out to make the show progressive and political. Thinking about that man not seeing a problem in taking Cassian's deliberately, desperately blind following of rules until this woman away from the story. Thinking about how this likely wasn't a malicious choice. How, to the male show writers, this scene was just a bunch of people talking in a hangar, this was just the lead-up to a cooler more interesting action sequence. Thinking about how clearly, something about the way Cassian was so deferential for most of the movie, deferential in the same way towards his powerful male commanding officer and towards this woman he didn't know but chose to believe and follow into hell, rankled with these writers. Not enough so they'd criticise it outright, maybe not even enough that they noticed it bothered them. But enough to change it.
Thinking about that.
Andor season 2 next week so here is little Rebelcaptain doodle
Leaving a fandom before the source material goes to shit but still hearing about what's going wrong with it from the friends you made when you were into it feels like standing on a lifeboat after a shipwreck and seeing your friends still in the water fistfighting the man eating sharks circling around
bridgerton is so scary. one by one the siblings are fetched away off into "their happy ending" only to turn into non-characters bearing innumerable children in the background of someone elses story. its like a zombie movie

Jyn Erso is a cynical character. Why wouldn't she? She's seen is the worst in people since she was a child. She has no reason to trust people or get close to anyone.
But on Jedha, Jyn rescued that little girl from the firefight with the Stormtroopers. When the council nixed the plan to go to Scarif, she was going to retrieve the plans alone. She might be cynical, equivocal about her own survival, but I think she possesses a sense of responsibility and compassion that's not always easy to see. That not even Cassian really detects until midpoint of the film. It's notable that Chîrrut is the first to sense it.
I'm always amazed at what people take away from Rogue One, particularly when they watch it with their AndorFan glasses on. Jyn is "bratty" because she gets mad at Andor after the Rebellion kills her father. Doesn't she know the pain he's experienced?!?! He lost everything!
Dude, she just saw the last member of her family killed by people that were supposed to be on her side. Maybe she's experiencing some pain and loss, too. Also, are you saying that Jyn can't express her anger at Cassian, the man that came to Eadu to kill her father, because he misses Bix?
I don't understand how people think. I know patriarchy makes us dislike and distrust women and prioritize men over them but, for crying out loud. Do you have no empathy for female characters unless they're sacrificing for their man?
I feel like people who criticize Jyn often failed to differentiate between attitude and core principles/characters. Jyn being cynical was an attitude, a survival mechanism born out of harsh, cruel reality and experiences that forced her to be so.
But at its core Jyn was kind, caring, and - as her father said in the novelization - had "the (same) insistent sense of righteousness (as her mother)". She was raised by loving parents and she loved them just as deeply, and that included Saw.
People like to downplay this by also saying that it's not logical how fast she changed her whole stance from not wanting to have anything to do with the Rebellion to become one of the bravest, most daring Rebels after witnessing Galen's death and I'm just here like. Some of y'all never feel that kind of love and it shows.
The Eadu confrontation scene is one of my favorite scenes because no one was fully right or wrong in that argument. These were two good people who became distrustful as well as disillusioned by the circumstances around them - but once they got past that, their true selves shone out.
If anything, they were human characters having human reactions to the situations they're facing, be it grief, anger, and eventually, hopeful.
And Chirrut, being strong with the Force, saw Jyn's heart instead of the front she's putting up. But even then, people followed her - Chirrut, Baze, Bodhi, Cassian (+K-2SO), and, eventually, everyone who went to Scarif.
I love Cassian and Jyn
