Peaceful night on Endor

Heard agreed to sit for an interview in “Silenced,” the first film she’s appeared in since 2023’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” The actress was clear about her motives in joining the production.

you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.

you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.

you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.

you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.

you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.

you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.

Diego Luna as Cassian Andor for @ser-rctslcyer

I am so tired of Andor season 2 expecting us to fill in half of the emotional core ourselves. We are supposed to imagine all the terrible things Cassian did for the Rebellion, because we don’t actually see them. We are supposed to imagine what really happened between him and Bix, whether they ever even talked about family, so it makes sense that there’s suddenly a child at the end. We are supposed to… assume a lot.

So I decided that if I’m expected to fill the gaps, I’ll do the same with Rogue One.

The elevator scene in Rogue One? It lasts four seconds. But the elevator ride lasted longer. So when the lights go out, they kissed. Done. Accepted. That explains a lot.

On the beach, when Cassian takes that breath, Jyn has that look like please, do not tell me you love me right now or that this could have been love, because I cannot die during a dramatic emotional confession. And then he says your father would be proud of you and she looks genuinely relieved.

And that hug? I always felt like he kissed her shoulder, or brushed his lips against her skin. Now it makes perfect sense. His mouth was just on hers. Of course the next place is her shoulder. It’s the most natural thing in the galaxy.

If time skips can explain everything else, then this particular headcanon is absolutely legitimate.
