Bella’s dream🩸

It is repeatedly emphasized in the show that the process of minining kalkite is invasive and risks destroying Ghorman’s biosphere, that the Empire had sought other options before committing to strip mining Ghorman, and that because Ghorman is a prominent Colonies world it would take time to turn public opinion against the Ghor - multiple years! - before they could begin. The entire point is that fascists can’t simply leave well enough alone - to get what they want they will eagerly manufacture consent for genocide. The Empire carefully manages public opinion to spin the massacre as a years-long terrorist uprising being put down, and it’s only Mon Mothma’s speech in the Senate that is able to blow a hole in that narrative.

This is just basic basic basic narrative analysis, but unfortunately we are dealing with Star Wars fans so that is not in their toolbox

faded from all this time

I'm fine about this parallel

always alone, even in a crowd

seeing krennic all smug and cheerful and bitchy in andor is so funny compared to his previous characterisation because apparently the only reason he's so sultry and moody in rogue one is because he's just. having the worst week of his life

truly the epitome of Orson Krennic and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
