“Move, ball” says a lot about his personality but nothing about his current situation in life. “Being Han Solo” doesn’t tell the full story.
What do you need the full story for? Or better, what’s the point of telling the “full story” if the character didn’t change at all since last time you saw him in OT?
As I said, there is nothing wrong with a stagnant character. The problem is when I film sets up a character for change but then doesn’t resolve it. If they wanted to tell Cassian’s story as the “unavoidable fate of a soldier,” they should have told that story. Instead that gave him a moral quandary but didn’t go anywhere with it.
They told that story. He died. He made decissions that made it unfair that he died, but he did because that’s how war is. The whole point of the film was exactly that, good and mortal people that are not as lucky destiny-blessed Luke but turned out to be exactly as important as him.
She has more to her than that. She has aspirations outside of the main plot, she has demons, she has a well defined moral compass though I would say Cassian’s is definitely more defined. Rey even has small litlle personality traits like being modest by shrugging off her saving Finn as mere luck
Well, Cassian has a personality as well. He’s an intelligence officer, his job is to have no-man’s personality. He only reveals his emotions when he knows his fate is sealed.
Why do all heroes need to choose to go on their journey?
You got this exactly around.
