little ârebelcaptainâ things from the novelization
MAJOR SPOILERS, obviously, for Rogue One (and anyone who wants to read the novelization).
Jyn went through all of Cassianâs things while he was off having his secret conversation w Draven and made a mental note that there was âno holoimage of a dutiful wifeâ like chill girl you could just ask him if he was single
THE BLASTER PISTOL SHEÂ âFOUNDâ WAS STOLEN STRAIGHT OUT OF CASSIANâS BAG LMAO IM SCREAMING
and he knows it too and lets her keep it looool
Moments after Cassian saves her life by shooting the rebel with the grenade, Jyn tackles him to the ground and saves his life in return
these two seem âpressed togetherâ a lot like we get it, personal space is not a thing
Cassian is literally Always Stressed about Jyn being cold and injured after their battle in Jedha
but like, side note, Cassian is literally always stressed about Jyn anyway
even when he knows sheâs served her purpose in the mission and is by all means âexpendableâ (and is justifying in his mind a million reasons to leave her behind) heâs desperately trying to save her as Jedha is collapsing
Cassian comes up with a hundred reasons why he SHOULD shoot Galin Erso but what it comes down to in the end is the fact that he has Jynâs eyes and he just CANT DO IT please someone end my suffering
when Cassian sees the explosion on the platform he whispers Jynâs name
and then he RACES to save her, and the logical part of his brain is like âwhere would we even go? weâre trapped here anywayâ but heâs so frantic he doesnât care, his one track brain just locks onto Jyn and her wellbeingÂ
their fight after is so emotionally charged I almost canât handle itÂ
once Cassian realizes Jyn wonât be getting the support from the council he slips out quietly with Bohdi and they gather people together to pull off the death star plan mission
when Jyn realizes what Cassian has done for her, how much he believes in her, and how dedicated he is to helping her, she finally starts healing for the first time in her character arc (which is why the line âwelcome homeâ is so destroying likeâŠâŠ.. this is the first time in the entire book that she actually feels hope)
something I didnât realize in the movie but was spelled out more obviously in the book: when Jyn sees Cassian shot while theyâre climbing the tower and he falls, she thinks heâs dead, and is literally so distraught she almost lets herself fall after him for a millisecond hahahaha :) :) this is fine :)Â
and when she sees âthe man in the white capeâ she mentally lists Cassianâs death up there with her parents as ways the man has made her life a living hell, and she burns with rage
and when she realizes Cassian is alive (and that heâs ended her nightmare by killing Krennic) he âlooked as beautiful as anyone Jyn had ever knownâ and once she beams the plans to the death star out, she stumbles to him smiling like a child
when Cassian sees her smile heâs shook by how ordinary it is, how it turns her into a woman he might have known and understood âHe hadnât known her, didnât know her, of course. There wasnât the time.â NO
in the end Cassian still had a hard time forgiving himself for all the awful things he did in the name of the rebellion but looking at Jyn and knowing heâd given her what she needed, that was enough.
âHer faith carried him with her.â
As Jyn is carrying Cassian (who is SO WEAK and SO BROKEN) toward the beach, she blocks a dead rebel soldier from his view
âSomehow she found herself closer to Cassian than before. Her breathing matched his, or his matched hers, deep and steady.â
and Cassian, completely out of strength, somehow still manages to hold her tighter, as tightly as he can, as the bright white light blinds them both and they become one with the force
(so basically, lots of tears were had) (Iâm so Shook)
