I hate dangerous idiots. Wherever you go, just like dangerous idiots. But I will say that to finish off like kind of where Cassian is, there are two things that got me. Number one, when we first see him and then when we last see him. Okay. I'm always fascinated, and I wonder whether or not Gilroy knows what he's doing with Star Wars lore when he's doing it.
As soon as Cassian got into the TIE fighter, I thought about... I'm always going backwards. I'm sorry, guys. I thought about Anakin Skywalker getting into the ship in Phantom Menace. Okay. Anakin, he shoots a couple of times, and then he flies the ship and becomes, like, the hero right away.

Because there's something innate inside of him that makes him just more talented than everybody else. We watch Cassian... Humble around and fuck around with that shit. Shooting the fucking people up. He's going backwards. He's going forward. By the way, that ship is incredibly durable. It didn't blow up inside of the thing and then they were shooting that bitch. It was a very durable ship, right?

And then when he flies out, he crashes it Again, and we watch his learning curve, learning how to fly it, and it makes the chase more exhilarating because there's a chance that he can crash. Yeah. I thought... Which changes the calculus. When you know that there's a chance, you know that Cassian Andor is going to survive that, but there's a chance that he can crash.

Now, when he swoops in at the end, Deadly confident. He actually shoots the grain hold to fall on top of the stormtroopers. It is literally one of the more heroic scenes I've seen in Star Wars in recent years.

You're right. Which brings me to the Phoenix crew. That reminded me of Battlestar Galactica.

When you're watching Battlestar Galactica and they're running away from the fucking Cylons and they're jumping one thing before. It's so hopeless. The Empire seems inevitable. The Phoenix crew is my poor baby. My baby be too evil. They're there, but they know that the Empire is coming. And the Empire means them no good. We don't even know...
