'And I've known you the whole time, seems unfair doesn't it.'

 

'Yavin? Where's that?'

I love the silences around this line. In season 1, Luthen mentioned that he had given Lonni intel that had helped him get promotions and Lonni clearly came through multiple times for Luthen but he had no idea about Yavin and given how high he was in the ISB, clearly neither did they. Given how widely it was known among rebels and how big it was by this point, had Luthen been actively deflecting attention away from it? So much intrigue in just one line.

 

Hardly seems fair! Laughed out loud at that.

What’s Yavin? It’s stuff like that that makes Gilroy’s world building the best since ANH.

 

oh the shade…
Luthen was carrying the big umbrella that day. Too bad it was his last.

 

I quite enjoyed Cassian's animated speech towards the dissenting sourpuss Rebels in the war room on Yavin...

I don't remember the lines exactly, but something about talking down about Luthen and Kleya, and Cassian thinking it's ridiculous he's having to defend them to people there who have "sacrificed a fraction of what they have to build the rebellion." I'll have to rewatch it to get it verbatim...but it's one of my favorite scenes in the whole series really-reminded me of Jyn; "run, hide, scatter your forces?! The time to fight is NOW-every moment we wait brings us one inch closer to the destruction of Jedha!"

Effective stuff.

 

What is he proposing!?

 

Thesis?!

 

Just let the man speak!

 

A quote for any context where you need to help someone try and understand the depth and significance of meaning...

"How nice for you".

 

We should have filled krennic when we just the chance

 

"Death Star...

A clever turn of phrase."

It was interesting to see how among even the hardened ISB agents, the term Death Star and all that it suggested was this intimidating, chilling idea. And only Krennic saw beauty in it.

It's also interesting to see that the term Death Star originated not with the Rebel Alliance (as one could rightly assume), but rather its an informal name that the Empire's own officers gave it.

 

Tarkin would only ever call it 'Battle Station" or just plain "Station". I could him getting cross with any underling calling it the Death Star.

 

I was thinking a bit after posting my last, and I realized; the station is never actually verbally referred to as the Death Star in any of the SW films it's in-except for Rogue One. Not even DS II was.

Interesting.
