Who broke out the wine and is now watching The Mummy, specifically looking for fun scenes to translate into a Rogue One Au?

Yep.

This lady.

What? I’m in a mood.

AHAHAH the scene where Evie is drunk and announces “I….am a librarian!” I don’t see Cassian as a drinker (esp not on a mission) but add an element of hurt/comfort and Jyn has to talk him into taking a painkiller and he gets a bit chatty and maybe Jyn jokingly takes a swipe at him but he’s surprisingly quick for a guy who was bleeding pretty hard an hour ago, and he catches her hand and then it’s a game, who’s faster? Until, slightly winded and struggling not to show it, Jyn asks him what his deal is, why is he so dedicated to something as doomed as the Alliance? To which he huffily responds, “I may not be a warrior or a politician or a hero, but I am proud of what I am.”

“And what is that?” Jyn murmurs, looking up at him in the firelight, struck suddenly by the passion in his voice, the fire in his eyes, and wonders how she ever thought him cold.

“I,” he says slowly, clearly – pauses, staring at the night sky above as if it holds the answers to life, the universe, everything – and then his voice drops and his eyes turn to her, intent, determined, as certain as the stars, “am a rebel.”

And for just one moment, Jyn’s heart tightens in her chest. Her breath catches. For just one moment, she remembers what it was like, before Saw left her, before she was alone and drifting aimlessly among the stars, before she gave up hope for a just galaxy, for a free world. For just a moment, she believes.

No, but Kay as Ardeth Bay could TOTALLY WORK if we imagine that the planet is totally devoid of all  life except the droids who were left behind except the Cataclysm that killed all the organics also killed about half the droids so it’s in their interest to keep the Cataclysm safely locked away/sleeping….

OH THE SCENE WHERE IMOTEP STEALS EVIE FOR SACRIFICE – I forgot how the camera zooms in on her face as Rick protests her willingness to go (in order to save the others). Can you just see that with jyn? Staring at Cassian’s calm willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good, and then she turns to the Evil that is taking him, turns and almost gently points her flaming torch, nods her head in quiet acknowledgment – “I’ll be seeing you again,” because she’s not going to walk away. She’s not going to let this just happen, let him die.

She’s not going to leave him.

WINSTON AS AN OLD BATTLE DROID THAT HATES BEING LEFT TO ROT IN THE SAND! And Jyn recruits him to help her save Cassian, and he’s delighted by the odds of survival, just delighted when Jyn says there’s only the tiniest hope but they are going anyway, circuits shorting out, codes faulting, a true end! Better than just rusting away, devoid of purpose, battery running slowly down. Ancient Force Evil? And what’s the plan? Save the boy, and the galaxy? Die in a blaze of glory in honorable combat?

HERE I COME, LADDIES! [MANIACAL MECHANICAL LAUGHTER!]

Rick’s reaction to just about everything is “Scream! Shoot!”

I don’t see Jyn screaming much. Maybe Bodhi will take care of that part for her. But she will definitely be a “it moves, shoot it” kind of person. Meanwhile, Kay glowers at her as she uses one of his circuits to create a spark and set off a chain reaction through a series of blaster packs (like a string of grenades) and chucks it into the oncoming horde of dark Force-driven monsters.

“Well,” Bodhi laughs and brushes dust from his face as the smoke clears over the piles of smoldering rubble and squished monster parts, “that was a bit of, ah, excitement, wasn’t it?”

“Organics,” K2SO says, his processors whirring in a parody of a sigh. “The odds that every one of you is insane seems statistically impossible. And yet,” he looks pointedly at Jyn, watching her kick over what looks like a half-melted head. “Here you are.”

“Cassian! Cassian, I found the [book/plans/Plot Point That Ends The Threat]!!”

*rattling chains* “Stop shouting, Bodhi, and open it!”

“Um, okay, hang on, there’s a lock and…shit, sorry, I’m not really good at coding, um, maybe if I…*click*…oops, nope, um – “

“Where’s Jyn? Give it to Jyn!”

*roars, blaster fire, something explodes in the distance*

“Jyn’s, um, busy. Hang on, though, I’ve almost, I’ve almost – ahh get it off get it off get it off!! *BANG! CRASH!* – okay, okay, um, almost got it open! There’s just this one code line, can’t quite make it out – “

“What’s it look like?”

“Um, sort of like a lizard, mynock, scaly thing, um flapping it’s – oh, look out, Cassian, teeth! Teeth! – nice shot! Um, right, flappy mynock lizard thing with interlocking letters across the bottom I think?”

“That’s a feedback loop! Enter the same code line reversed and it will – Chingados! Tu madre es una cabra! – enter it reversed and it will break the loop!”

“…oh, yeah! Jyn told me about that once, a couple years back I think when we were – “

*shrieking and gunshots intensify*

“BODHI!”
