@onyxstorms, @bensolothelastskywalker

I was intentionally being vague, but I just love that the two of you knew who exactly who I meant. And you're right! His opinion doesn't matter at all.

"So and so doesn't ship Reylo!" will never cease to be the lamest argument to not ship it that I've come across. So what? Who cares who does or doesn't ship Reylo? I ship it and that's all that matters. You think some famous person not shipping is going to make me change my mind? Not a chance.

‘We're in big trouble with this Palpatine girl, right?’

if troy wrote on dathan being esro?

I don't want anyone changing Dathan's orgins at all. As I've said previously, I want them to stop changing Rey's lineage. So keep Dathan as he is.

[benthelastskywalker]

what you think if Tony Gilroy rewrote on dathan's origins inserted as clone

Honestly, I hope he doesn't. I know a lot of people don't like the idea of Rey being a Palpatine (I don't either), but, for better or worse, it is canon now and they've already changed her parentage once.

[benthelastskywalker]

what you think on tahar rahim if he played ben and rey's grandson?

Never heard of him.

[benthelastskywalker]

Tony Gilroy has said that Kleya is not Cassian's sister, that he left the matter of Cass's sister dangling because it adds to the tragedy of his story. But making Kleya Cassian's sister would have been it's own tragedy too! Especially if he never realized she was. Especially if Kleya only discovered the truth after he had died. I think that would have been much more tragic than him never finding her in the first place.

what you think if dathan was kenobi?

Honestly, I'm not a fan of the idea. I know a lot of people still love the idea of Rey being a Kenobi, but I'm not one of them. I wish they had stuck with Rey Nobody.

[benthelastskywalker]

why @soloorganaas hate reylo

No idea. I'm not familiar with this person so I don't feel comfortable commenting on them.

[benthelastskywalker]

Oh absolutely! While the rebellion is important, it wasn't up to her to decide whether Cassian should stay or go. It should have been his choice.

I saw someone say that B/x saved the galaxy and it put a very sour taste in my mouth.

She made her choice, fine. Kudos to her.

But fuck that opinion.

As if any of what happened in Rogue One would have happened without Jyn.

To get to the plans, you needed Galen and to get Galen you needed Jyn.

Not a single person in the Rebellion knew what Stardust would have meant to Galen Erso, because those plans sat in a Imperial databank for years and not a single imperial figured it out.

So don't you dare minimize the tragedy of Jyn Erso by claiming that crap.

Jyn Erso saved the fucking galaxy, and you best be respectful when saying her fucking name.

[benthelastskywalker]

If I recall, they don't break her out until after Cassian's meeting with Tivik. Why would they do it before? They had no reason to until Tivik told Cass about Galen and the Death Star.

How was that leading in to Rogue One with ZERO mention of Jyn Erso? Weren’t Melshi and K2 breaking her out of jail as Cassian was going to see Tivik?

Nothing about Liana Hallik (apologies if the spelling is wrong!) or ANY investigation into getting to Galen, or even finding him….

[benthelastskywalker]

Honestly, I think it needed both Jyn and Cassian for the Scarif mission to work. Yes, Jyn was the one who figured out Stardust, but I don't think she would have gotten that far tbh without Cassian. He believed her in and got her there. Sure, she may have found a way without him, but she wouldn't have had as much support and most likely would have been killed as soon as she reached the ground. So both Jyn and Cassia saved the galaxy.

However, I still don't like that Bix lied to Cassian and manipulated him into staying. I think calling her "the savior of the galaxy" is giving her more credit than she really deserves.

People in the notes of my last Bix post have brought up things like "moral greyness" and how the show is full of characters doing less savory things for the rebellion. They are not wrong and I do agree on many of their points. I do acknowledge that I worded my post rather poorly.

The issue I have with Bix is that she's supposed to be Cassian's love interest and as such she is the one character who should not be lying to him and manipulating him. She's the person who is supposed to have his back and respect his wishes and choices. She didn't and I find that unacceptable behavior from someone claiming to love him.

[benthelastskywalker]

I'm not a fan of the "a mother decides to hide her child's existence from their father" trope in general. The only times I'm even remotely okay with this is if the father himself is a direct or indirect threat to the child's safety. And Cassian Andor was not a threat to his child. I've already seen people arguing that Bix "did what she had to to keep Cassian in the rebellion." But you know what that's called? Manipulation. If you have to lie to someone (and yes, Bix did lie by omission) to get them to do what you want, you are manipulating them. And that is not a good thing.

"But OP, Cassian staying in the rebellion is a good thing! Without him they wouldn't have gotten the plans off of Scarif and the rebellion could have lost!" Just because a wrong leads to something good, doesn't make it right! Just like if doing something right ends up going bad, it doesn't mean that it is morally wrong. An action's morality is not dependent on the consequences of taking said action. Manipulating someone is not right. And Bix manipulated Cassian. She was wrong.

Thoughts on the Andor Finale

Luthen killing himself so that the Dedra couldn't get information out of him is so in character.

Dedra being thought a rebel spy is just so great. She deserves this.

Wait...is Kleya Cassian's sister!? I know he doesn't know, but does she realize? Or does he die without either of them knowing? Ouch. That just hurts.

I guess Wilmon and Vel survive the events of Rogue One then. Wonder if we'll see them in other projects.

It's official. I don't like Bix anymore. Cassian had every right to know that he was a father and she kept that from him. And yes, I'm sure she doesn't know. If he did, Cassian would be with them. I'm positive of that. I think Vel knows, though. That's why she was pushing him to reconnect with Bix. So not, really happy with her either for not telling him. And knowing that child wll never know their father because Bix made the decision to keep their existence a secret from Cass just makes it so much worse.

Was that his daughter's mother-in-law that Perrin was with at the end?

[benthelastskywalker]

I knew Luthen was going to kill Lonnie. I've known since s1, but it still hurts that it happened.
