meta incoming but one of the most fascinating themes of rogue one and andor to me is the idea that a parent’s (individualist) love of their child might not be enough to save them from the (structural) violence of the world, so it’s fascinating how fandom managed to sail right past that in a bunch of places

#The fic plot of jyn and cassian leave the rebellion to have a white picket fence and babies!!! Plot has always struck an odd vibe #But now I’m like no that’s literally the reverse of what the plot is saying #GALEN TRIEd that!!!#HE TRIED THAT AND the literal OPENING SHOT of rogue one is about how that failed completely #That’s the great terrible irony of rogue one it’s about how his EVERYTHING I DO I DO TO PROTECT YOU fails so completely #It end up in outright filicide where maybe the giant child killing machine might kill his child #Maarva tells cassian to go have a nice life take the money run from the empire live in peace!!!#And in the same fucking episode he’s sent to a death camp #Something too about how parental love can still exist in a world with these kinds of horrors #also fascinating how andor provides the antithesis to this attitude in Mon mothma #Her child can be put to the block so that everyone else’s get a fighting chance to live
