Rebellion in Rogue One

I love that they showed so many ways to rebel against a fascist Empire, both in the sense that it was a realistic portrayal of the things that people do in desperate situations and in the sense that it showed you all the ways you can resist like

  • You’re a brilliant scientist being told to do horrific things? Run the fuck away. They track you down and threaten you and your family? Pretend to give in and then find a way to blow it all to shit from the inside. Do not collaborate. Do not collaborate.
  • Rebels who do dirty things to win and have been doing dirty things their whole damn lives like happens in real life
  • Rebels who have lost their way and become extremists like people do in real life
  • Very real infighting about how to fight back, what chances to take, whether to fight or wait
  • You’re just a fucking cargo pilot (or a Stormtrooper) and a nobody and maybe you’ve been given orders but you are an individual with a moral conscience so when you see a chance you take it you do not continue to collaborate
  • You think it’s easy to ignore the suffering if you keep your head down, it’s easy to see the Imperial flag flying if you just avoid looking at it, and maybe you’re disillusioned or hurt but that’s not an excuse and you realize this is a cause worth fighting for, worth dying for
  • You know you’re about to die a terrible death in a fucking hallway but you still get the intelligence out because the cause is bigger than you
  • You do not collaborate.

I fucking love this movie.

The thing that truly kills me about the scene where Baze prays to the Force as Chirrut dies is that the whole movie we’re shown that Baze doesn’t not believe in the Force at all he even rolls his eyes at every mention of it but as soon as Chirrut express the possibility that they might see each other again trough the Force, Baze starts believing…

r1 spoilers ahead: okay so i hate krennic with the burning passion of a thousand suns but he was an effective villain and killing him off along with the rebels on scarif was the greatest bit of poetic justice i have ever seen in cinema. 

that shot of him looking up at that beast that was his life’s work, that he hunted galen erso down to create, that he stood against GRAND MOFF TARKIN AND LORD VADER to maintain credit for? his death machine that he called beautiful? that was the greatest thing ever, watching this man look up at the abomination he created and knowing that it was going to kill him, that was so fucking satisfying.
