It still makes sense why he disobeyed that order, considering the circumstances. If an Imp agent showed up to stop them, and they had no man with a blaster, they'd be screwed.
But they did - they had two people with blasters. People who actually knew what they were doing as opposed to a kid who was inexperienced with firearms. And this is explicit. Why are you sticking to this point since it's made very clear in the show that he's not supposed to be armed and someone dies because he overestimates himself when the people in charge have made very clear he's only allowed on the mission on the condition he follows their lead. Now I notice you didn't answer my question - are you actually watching this show or are you one of those people who just tries to argue over something they haven't seen?
I did. But two people with blasters isn't enough. Especially since these are transports going to an Imperial facility that, if rumor is to be believed, is going to be a fortress. At that point, I'd have at least 4-6 people with blasters given the stake.
But it demonstrably was given that there was only a single shot fired in the entire operation and it was the guy who thought he knew better than the people running it and went against their explicit orders that he wasn't to have one. And he shot at a civilian in a panic. If that civilian had continued past him he'd have come to one of the people who knew how to handle the situation and got rid of him again.
Now you're the one who sounds like they didn't watch the show.
Please answer my question in simple and clear terms: Are you watching this show and did you watch this episode. It's a fair question, no?
And if it did, handing out a bunch of firearms to a bunch of inexperienced people who have mainly been handing out pamphlets and eavesdropping so far, is not going to be a great idea. You would be a terrible rebel leader since you don't seem to understand the actual goals. The whole thing was planned that if compromised, they had multiple exit routes and would immediately abandon mission and escape. To which you're now itching to reply with more head-cannon about how you would run a rebel operation! All because you want it to not be the fault of the guy who disobeyed orders, panicked and shot someone with the gun he was told he wasn't allowed to have.
I believe that they're based on the Jewish diaspora, which explains a lot.
Just give me a Rodian man, hell I'll even take a Gran at this point.
No shit, I watched it.
And if the Imperials weren't giving the Rebels a free pass, two idiots with blasters would hardly be a deterrent. At least 4-6 idiots with blasters would be a challenge to a typical Imperial squad of army troopers or Stormtroopers.
There was something at a party that at first glance I thought was a Gran but when they showed it closer it looked different and I don't think it was.
I mean it has.
At least we're not maintaining the "I'm pirating it" fiction anymore.
I'd it were the one in Saw's group then that was a Rogue 1 original, which are much more in line with OT designs that the sequelshite you see everywhere else.
Don't think this is directed at me specifically but in case it was because you quoted me, I've never said that. Just tbc.
You're probably right. I just looked up the creatures (and turns out the world is called neither Pandora nor Pantera, but Pantora). Yes, it's different.
The point of the raid was to get in and out without any complications. Cinta and Vel know that the Ghormans are untrained. While additional arms may help, we saw what happened with untrained users.
The Empire and the Ghormans both know what's going on. I don't think they're even trying to keep up appearances when the new Imperial complex is going to rise over the monument to the Tarkin massacre, and the contents of the transports are classified. They're openly rubbing salt on the wound; that's causing the Ghormans to go bananas. It's the opposite of keeping up appearances; they're openly daring the Ghormans to attack.
That, and the media spin doctors have already succeeded in turning the average Joe against them, if Syril's mother is any indication. So when the crackdown starts, most of the galaxy either won't care or might even approve. Mon Mothma will have to be the voice of defiance against what's happening.
I don't know why this scene gets dragged so much, it's another one of those examples where the media and other retards just pretend something is unbelievably bad when it's perfectly normal. Anakin and Padme were just joking around with each other saying stupid shit in that scene. Anyone who's ever been in a happy relationship or have just been around other people in a happy relationship together know that people joke around and say dumb little inside jokes to each other all the time.
What I got from the line was how two people with different upbringings would view something as insufficient as sand. Padmé grew up in a life of luxury and going to the beach was part of that life. Anakin had to live in a world full of harshness with no relief and sand reminds him of that.
I bet it's a Tony Gilroy decision since he is known for not liking Star Wars.
