I am rewatching Rogue One (A Story About Star Wars) and here are my stray thoughts
Ben Mendelssohn & Alan Tudyk are great 
These two are cutie pies in the extreme
Absolutely love this guy
Props to this guy for having the only laser machine gun in the galaxy, love that it has an ammunition feed of lasers or maybe those are spare batteries
Second time watching & still somehow missed this guy’s whole deal— he is not a Jedi? Just a Force enthusiast?
The Pete Cushing thing is somewhat less offputting this time around but still feels misguided to me. Movies don’t exist in a vacuum, especially ones whose worlds attain a beloved status, & it sort of comes off to me as “good news, your death is not a creative obstacle for us!”
The first thing I ever saw Ben Daniels in was Flesh and Bone & his character in that was so nuts that it always makes me laugh to see him in anything else (he is a ghost actor, this one’s on me)
HE IS A GOOD ACTOR NOT A GHOST ACTOR HE IS STILL ALIVE AS OF THIS TWEET
Love this guy’s little “and away we go” leg push-off as he walks away from Grand Moff Toonkin
Also I did not mean to refer to Peter Cushing as “Pete” before but it makes me laugh now that I see it. PETE CUSHING. Somewhere there is a Pete Cushing who has led a very different life.
It was fun watching the movie!
