Maybe not in those words and in that fashion RRS-1980, but essentially that is what I found during my last (2nd to date) viewing of R1. I didn’t notice much of it on the first watch through at the cinemas but upon a rewatch at home I found there is quite a bit of depth to Jyn’s character if you go looking for it.

It’s not a movie that holds your hand in leading you to these thoughts, it instead gives you the base information and expects you to connect the dots yourself and recognise the significance for each character as to what is happening on screen.

I’m not saying that R1 has massive amounts of character depth and development but there is definitely plenty enough there for the type of movie it is and doesn’t line up at all with some people’s assertion that it’s not primarily character driven which for some reason means it’s a bad movie and that all the characters are 2d paper thin plot devices.
