cassian having the audacity to act like he knows to even vaguely pilot that ship after his fuck up of a take off is hiralious
cassian never sees the death star plans.
he never knows that he was forced to build the very weapon that they used to kill him, kill millions of others.
he never knows that so many men died — were tortured, and traumatised, all so that the empire could kill millions more.
he never knows any of this, because they killed him with that same weapon too.
oh its the pieces of the death star? oh they’re being inserted into this weapon of mass destruction in the most stunningly horrifying shot ive seen in my life? oh cassian and melshi were really building the weapon that would bring about their deaths all along?
If I watch one more person die after yelling “climb” in Cassian’s general direction I’m gonna start throwing stuff
People who are kind to droids and take care of them >>>>
I think in this regard especially, Cassian achieves what Luthen really wants to be. At least on a moral standpoint because Cassian does all this and still so very deeply cares about everyone, while Luthen has had to stop caring and instead make horrible horrible choices.
I love that yet again we see Cassian take a back seat so someone else can rally the troops, someone else takes center stage and the credit.
In this case, it's Maarva. Last time they spoke, he said he didn't understand why she was staying, why she wanted to fight a revolution against an impossible force.
But this time, he gets it. He lets her word be the rallying call for her home, he makes sure EVERYBODY gets to hear it, that the entire town gets called out to listen to her final speech as he goes in to rescue Bix in the shadows.
He runs from hiding place to hiding place as Brasso stands at the front of a crowd, walks them towards a wall of Imperial soldiers, and leads them in the fight for freedom.
Cassian isn't a Big Damn Hero. He's not someone whose name is known or remembered. He's not a leader who makes the big speech to a crowd.
He's a spy. He observes, he notices things, he figures out the plan that has to happen in order to succeed at the goal. He's the one who puts it all together and then steps away from the spotlight so he can do it all over again.
I think Marva would be incredibly happy knowing that Brasso used her funeral stone to bitchslap some stormtroopers.

Ferrix:
The last thing vel said to cinta was "we have a minute." And she was right. They only had a minute
Oh, you threw the first brick at Ferrix? Bitch, I WAS the first brick at Ferrix
-Maarva, probably
Love this character
cassian who kept coming back for jyn, risking his own safety
cassian who came back for maarva's funeral and to rescue bix, and made sure he saved everyone he could
cassian who came back for maarva, and wanted to take her someplace where they could be safe
keef, who looked back to his fellow inmate who could not swim, who didn't jump to the sea without him, but instead got pushed
kassa, who never got to go back to his little sister
This show is BY FAR the best thing in Star Wars since Rebels and Rogue One. Slow burn stories are so worth it.

Me and the whole of Ferrix:
was almost worried fascist fanboy was about to get a redemption arc but no he found out his fascist girlfriend lied to him which meant the last 2 years of his work meant nothing, choked her out bc he's an incel, thought he was about to get a personal victory against cassian only to find out that his archnemesis has absolutely no fucking clue who he is bc he's irrelevant, and then gets headshotted by the billionaire tailor who he's been conning this whole time. FANTASTIC 10/10 NO NOTES.
okay good night. more thoughts tomorrow.
let cassian say f*ck you cowards
Mon's really putting the panic in that disco, huh
bix’s goodbye hurts so much more knowing the end of rogue one
“I’ll find you” ARE YOU KIDING ME
DAN GILROY YOU WILL PAY
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!
I HOPE THOSE FRENCH ASSHOLES GET KILLED ON THE GHORMAN MASSACRE
dedra’s evil twink and luthen’s spy kinda have good chemistry
also is ghorman supposed to be space France or am i getting it wrong?
either we are getting a syril redemption or a syril spy arc (the latter is more likely tho)
