Rogue One/Sequel Trilogy Salt

'A New Hope' is the story of a boy who grows up in a tranquil home and dreams of joining a war. What if we have the story of a girl who grows up in a war and dreams of returning to the tranquillity of home?

Gareth Edwards

This quote is evidence that Jyn Erso was written to be a foil to Luke Skywalker. Before Rogue One came out, I and a bunch of other fans were speculating Jyn to be Luke's wife and Rey's mom (due to the resemblance to Rey, the speculation about Rey being Luke's daughter, and the parallels between Jyn and Luke (and between Jyn and Mara Jade, Luke's Legends wife, to the point where it seemed like Jyn might become the Disney canon version of Mara)). Even after the film came out, I was still hoping for Jyn to pull a Phil Coulson for that, particularly with that kyber crystal necklace she had.

Years later, after Lucasfilm has mangled up Rey's origins along with the latter two sequels, I haven't completely given up on that idea, but it's been barely on my mind, and I've been torn between that and Jyn's relationship with Cassian Andor. But now, reading that quote has stirred up my feelings towards the former (and from what I've been recently reading about Cassian, he's kind of old for her anyway). It seems like a great opportunity that Lucasfilm has wasted.

Disney Lucasfilm really dropped the ball here. What a waste of potential. :(

"So essentially what Star Wars to me was, a boy who is stuck at home and dreams of joining a war. And so it's like, let's tell a story of a girl who is stuck in a war and dreams of going home. It was like a mirror." - Gareth Edwards, 2023

Do you have any fix-it AUs for Rogue One? 🥰

i know you asked this a while ago, but i couldn't think of anything UNTIL the other day…

(commission info // tip jar!)

wow rogue one is really a love letter to the unnamed fighter. no act of help is too small, every deed causes a ripple. luke showed up to blow the death star, and there was the plan to do it--countless of people died to get him that, and luke knows none of them. how many rebel planes get shot down every battle? how many civilians die in explosions? how many died to get the plans to luke? rogue one says you. and you and you and you. every one of you. what will come of it? who knows. something.

I love the original star wars trilogy so much that the only thing I love more than it is rogue one

Thanks to all the authors from ao3 who decided that all young people should hang out together... I decided so too.

The Rules:

Every twenty-four hours there will be another round. After every round, the ship in last place will be eliminated.

If there are multiple ships tying for last place, there will be a special elimination round. In these rounds, every ship in last place will be eliminated, even if all the ships have tied equally.

When there are only two ships remaining, they will face off against one another in a week-long poll to determine the victor.

If the ship that you consider the best isn't listed here, hit the 'you forgot the best ship' option and reply to this post with the overlooked ship. The ship with the highest 'write-in' votes will be added to the next round. Unless the 'you forgot the best ship' option is the least voted for, in which case it will be eliminated.Welcome to the fray, Kalluzeb!

This is all for fun. Don't take it too seriously ;)

It breaks my heart to say it, but Stormpilot/Finnpoe has been eliminated. However, they had a fantastic run, and the boys are now free to set off to a better, alternative universe where Disney weren’t cowards Finnpoe was canon.

We are getting so close to the end. Time for Round Ten.

REBELLIONS ARE BUILT ON HOPE.

Finally finished this one! What a long piece, I’ve procrastinated a lot on it but I finally decided to finish it yesterday (or it would have remained a wip forever) hope you like!

Characters close ups:

Again, thanks for the huge support you’re showing towards my drawings, I appreciate you all a lot! And again, more is coming! Stay tuned!

Two different themes made by two different composers for two different characters in two different movies, and yet it's almost as if they were coordinated and synchronized to fit together. And Lucasfilm wondered why people thought that these two women were mother and daughter, especially since they looked so alike and were just the right ages for it!

They also both fit well with Luke's theme, so maybe that should say something.

Yes, and in addition to that, I just realized that before Orson Krennic found them, the Ersos were hiding out in a homestead on a farm on Lah'mu. Jyn Erso grew up on a farm, just like Luke! If Lucasfilm didn't want us to ship them, they shouldn't have given us so many parallels between them and a potential daughter who resembles and parallels both of them.

It's been long confirmed that "Rey Palpatine" was something that they came up with at the last minute. There's also been rumors that JJ Abrams had made a whole other cut of TROS, with Rey as Luke's daughter, before the executives hijacked the project and reshot everything. If they could only give us that cut like they gave us Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League and at least keep the Skymom vague enough that we could plug in Jyn, it could possibly make up for everything. But we'd probably have to wait until Lucasfilm crashes and burns so that someone else can take over and reboot everything after Rogue One.

SkyRogue could have been so good, so poetic. If the rumors are true and Jyn’s father was a leading scientist in creating the Death Star who hated his creation and helped to take it down then Rey would have two grandfathers who helped build something monstrous and oppressive. Two grandfathers who then helped their children demolish the horrors that they had created. The poetic parallels. The history of darkness and light. It would have been so good.

Jar Jar Binks, Rebel Agent

Rex is the one who executed Krell instead of Dogma.

Anakin listens to Mace and sits tight while the Council fights Sidious.

Plo Koon somehow gets the Darksaber.

Force Sensitive Sabine Wren

Force Sensitive Jyn Erso

A single member of Rogue One survives

Leia’s ship isn’t caught by Vader

Owen lets Obi-Wan train Luke

Owen and Beru die when Luke is young

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

A happy family lives on the Star of Death. Daddy Ani hates sand, Mummy Padme is pretty cool, and Grandpa Palpi sleeps a lot. Leia and Luke love to play!

But beware, rumour has it that a ghost lingers...
