For me, it’s not necessarily interesting to play a strong, fearless woman. It’s interesting to play a woman who is terrified and then overcomes that fear. It’s about the journey.
Things Rogue One made so much more meaningful/better
•That dumbass flaw in the Death Star
•Bail Organa and his relationship with Leia (”I would trust her with my life”)
•Bail Organa and his relationship with Obi Wan (”he helped me greatly during the Clone Wars)
•All the republic turned rebellion ship designs from TCW and SWR
•The amount of pain Anakin is in all the time
•Seeing a city and then planet explode from the ground’s perspective adds so much depth to what happened to Alderaan (even though we did see it for a moment with the Hosnian system)
•The inner workings of the rebellion, and Mon Mothma’s role
•the importance of Luke being a jedi to the rebellion, the fact that every time they dispatch troops, “may the force be with you” is announced over the loudspeakers even though most of them believe the Jedi to be extinct
