I’ve ranted before about how much I dislike the idea that the Rogue One team’s deaths are mandated by continuity, given that 1) we only ever see the Rebellion in glimpses, with new-yet-longstanding leaders appearing with every movie, and 2) they’re spies.
But I think I’m even more :| at the idea that it was mandated by their in-story characters. That is, that the Scarif mission is about as good as it was ever going to get for them, and they’re too troubled/unconventional/traumatized/rootless/whatever to find any real peace or happiness in living. Dying in triumph and hope was really the kindest end for them. Et cetera.
I mean, part of it is that aggressive unsentimentality is not really my deal. Beyond that, though, I really can see the reasoning, and I leaned somewhat that way in the beginning, but the more I think about it—especially now that I can watch closely—the more dissatisfying I find it.
