ROGUE ONE NOVEL EDITS → Bodhi reached for the comm controls again and bit his lip. Baze and Chirrut were out there, probably shooting and getting shot at along with all the rebel soldiers. Cassian and Jyn and K-2 were inside the Citadel by now. If everything went well, even if everything went perfectly, not everyone would make it back alive.
They weren’t his friends. They hadn’t gone drinking with Bodhi after his crush on Bamayar had rejected him, or helped him reassemble his astromech after he’d stupidly taken the droid apart on a dare. But they had saved him from Saw Gerrera, believed him when Saw and his people hadn’t. They’d never once put him in cuffs. They’d needed him on Eadu and never once pretended they hadn’t.
They wanted to stop the Death Star.
They didn’t deserve to be hurt.

disneybrony: maurice-dandi: kalinara: I will never understand Rogue One fans who try to use the movie to diminish Luke Skywalker. Because if anything, that movie showed me why Luke would have been so damned important to the entire fleet. For one thing, I don’t think I ever really appreciated the symbolic role the Jedi seem… Continue reading
Things that were incredible* about Rogue One
andloawhatsit: * “incredible” doesn’t mean it wasn’t devastating the cast, obviously — I mean, where even to begin, they were incredible, their performances were superb, the characters were so engaging the relationship between Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus, which was so immensely loving Galen’s choices Galen mentoring Bodhi Bodhi diving into the rebellion because it’s never too… Continue reading Things that were incredible* about Rogue One
The world grew brighter, emerald at first and then a clean, purifying white. In Jyn’s mind the cave below the broken hatch was illuminated with the strength of the sun, and then the walls turned to dust and there was no longer a cave but only her spirit and heart and everything she had ever been: the daughter of Galen and Lyra and Saw, the angry fighter and the shattered prisoner and the champion and the friend.
Soon all those things, too, burned away, and Jyn Erso – finally at peace – became one with the Force.
heroes-of-scarif: What she says: I’m fine. What she means: Galen Erso told Jyn “Whatever I do, I do it to protect you,“ but she was killed by the weapon he helped to build. The weapon both of them gave their lives to make sure it could be destroyed. I’ll never be fine again.
And there was never another Rogue One callsign ever – and when the Rogue Group flew the Rogue leader was always back and to the right of true lead position, because it was understood. It was believed. It was known.
Rogue One would always fly with their group, because the Force was with them.
otp-rebelcaptain: rogue-one-rebel-captain: heyemily1331: a-non-sequitur: ladytharen: softsithery: I can understand some of the criticism of Jyn, but I’m deeply uncomfortable with criticism that obscures the childhood trauma she went through and the fact that she was a child soldier. She’s not an “apathetic liberal” – her mental detachment from and dismissal of the atrocities committed by the… Continue reading
Baze trusted Jyn’s fury and her fire. Most of all — though he was loath to admit it — he trusted Jyn because of Chirrut Îmwe. Those whom Chirrut trusted, Baze could find a reason to trust as well.
