Rebels
When the spaceship landed, it lost contact with the Rebels, and Draven ordered an attack, the purpose should be to prevent the team from falling into the hands of the Empire and confessing to silence. Galen died in this exchange of fire between the rebel army he wanted to help and the Empire, which was very ironic and embarrassing. It was impossible for a scientist like him to get the peace he wanted in such an environment. This plot setting drives Jyn's decision to personally take part in stealing the Death Star blueprints, and it also shows Draven's cruelty to some extent. The later argument between Jyn and Cassian raised the question of whether what the Rebels were doing was justified, although there was no direct answer. Whether it's Cassian's murder at the beginning, or after the Death Star plan was revealed, the rebels were arguing about fighting or giving up, or even being unable to make an action decision. These are all attempts that I like to discuss. I can't answer what's right and what's wrong. One can only be forced to make some decisions and get used to it in extremely poor conditions. The Visual Guide also said that Cassian had a suicide pill in his jacket pocket, which was suspected to be prepared for the end of the legendary mass suicide.
Jyn never fully trusts the Rebels throughout this story. In the original trailer, Jyn said I rebel. In the scene in the main film, she said I don't have luxury to have political opinions, and she also expressed to Saw that she was disheartened about the rebels. I don't know that it is a trailer fraud. It was really adjusted later, in short, Jyn's attitude in the feature film is obviously more reasonable.
Empire power play
Tarkin and Vader, so tacit understanding, so cooperative, so one nostril out of breath, it's like Empire's Finest
People like Krennic who came from the grass roots and doers are too politically disadvantaged. Generally, the credit goes to the leader, and the pot belongs to oneself. The important ministers around the emperor are generally nobles who came from the founding fathers of the country. It is useless to say anything if they cannot enter the core decision-making level. Do the emperor and Vader believe in Tarkin or you?
The empire has only been established for more than 20 years, and the bureaucracy is no less than that of the republic for hundreds of years. However, high-level executives like Vader and Tarkin are already excellent configurations. They have strong abilities and tacit cooperation. When things go wrong, they cooperate in an orderly manner. It's a pity that Tarkin died early, and Vader's mind ran away since his son appeared. He began to think about how father and son should govern together.
It is really interesting to watch the power struggle between Tarkin and Krennic in Guan Guan Xiaoli. The supervisor also knew that Tarkin would definitely take credit in front of the emperor, but he was confident that he would not fail and that he could convince the emperor that he was more worthy of praise than Tarkin. But Tarkin is more powerful, he doesn't play cards at all
This wasn't how he'd imagined the culmination of twenty years work, a diminished attack, a grand moff's power play, but it was reality he contended with.
Guan Xiaoli also mentioned that Krennic knew that Tarkin asked him to test the Death Star immediately, which might make him very passive, but it was still very important for him to show the ability of the Death Star. He also heard rumors that the emperor's right hand Vader and Tarkin were already close ally.
In short, Tarkin started the weapon test of the Death Star in advance when Krennic was not ready, and did not blow up the entire planet but only bombed Jedha, blocking the way for the supervisor to claim credit to the emperor. After the test was successful, he took control. But then colluded with Vader and dumped all the mess out of the test on Krennic. Krennic knew the threat was very irrational, and the reason he said that only his people could operate the system didn't matter to Tarkin at all, in fact, he had no ace in his hands to help him. In fact, I think the description of Tarkin's political skills in R1 is much smaller than the entire Tarkin official.
One of the things I like about R1 is that each of the main characters has plenty of room to grow, and that the styles of different people, including Draven and Mothma, are closely linked to the end result. The main issue with R1's plot setting was that the final bento was too rushed, although it was understandable from a movie perspective that the heroes needed a curtain call instead of having everyone blown up at the end of Scarif, and the most time-saving The method is that each character sacrifices after completing his or her mission.
