Everything Great About Rogue One

Part 2/2. Spoilers below

w/o a Jedi to predict shots, the battlefield is a living nightmare

people trip over dead comrades while the comrades are still falling

Star Wars w/o the fantasy is just war, grit and all

yet Rogue One still retains a Shakespearean narrative like its cousin ANH

>> plot takes place over 4 days or less

>> comedy to make light of tragedy

>> just kidding

>> everyone dies

>> except for maybe 2 or 3 people

you know what’s worse than not having a Jedi on the battlefield

getting trapped in a box w/ Darth Motherkriffin’ Vader

SO SCARY YET SO GOOD

i’m still shaking it was so good

BAIL MOTHERKRIFFIN’ ORGANA

GRAND MOFF-ERKRIFFIN’ TARKIN

MOTHERKRIFFERS EVERYWHERE

i’m p sure i recognised more ANH minor characters in RO than everyone in the theatre combined. or that rebel pilot briefly seen in the hangar who had a handlebar mustache wasn’t BIGGS MOTHERKRIFFIN’ DARKLIGHTER

*whispers* motherkriffers everywhere

RO reminded me of every war-inspired literature I’ve read, ever (The Things They Carried, A Farewell to Arms, etc.)

also you see extremists vs. rebels vs. imperials

the precious civilian smol caught in between

jyn saving said smol

RO doesn’t mess around w/ parallels to today’s news, yo

like dang just throw it into our faces and make the entire world see

Everything Great About Rogue One

I’m not great w/ summarising my feels but I figured everyone must suffer w/ me.  (Part 1/2). Spoilers below

the Guardians of the Whills are a ball of sunshine and a grumpy grump

“I don’t need luck. I have you!”

K-2SO is Artoo’s cousin. He has to be with that much sass

the holy city

stardust

papa

bast castle(!!!)

papa

that weird tentacle porn monster

stormtroopers that can shoot

edge lord cassian

cassian in his final moments

the beach hug ripped my heart out of me it was so bittersweet

bodhi had his mind put through a blender and he put it back together somehow

even in blended-mode, he still wanted to do the right thing

galen’s pure, awesome genius

he’s another male hero w/o the toxic masculine “hero” traits

seriously - this guy wins against the empire when he’s lying on the floor dying

just like luke when he cries out “father!”

or anakin when he says “you were right”

half of the movie was tense and volatile. it was great

this is the movie that honours the minor characters who never made it onto the 70′s big screen b/c they all made the ultimate sacrifice

if a single rebel had not volunteered to go on that beach that day, Leia wouldn’t have had the plans to send to Obi-Wan and the entire OT wouldn’t have happened

D-DAY FEELS HITTING HARD

btw w/o a Jedi to predict every shot, battlefields are a living nightmare

seriously. d-day.

think saving private ryan

everyone fights, no one lives

jyn, an anti-rebellion criminal whose early childhood was having imperial commander krennic share drinks w/ her father in their living room, inspired cassian and these rebels to go on that beach w/ her to fight the good fight

everyone’s last lines

“goodbye, cassian”

“let it be”

“i am one with the force. the force is with me.”
