Unified Color Theory of Rogue One by @roguefunpodcast

In this opening shot (Lah’mu), there are four colors

(white, black, green, brown)

. For
the landscape and for the people.

On the surface of the planet: there’s the white, gray skies,
there’s the black, loam sand, and the green of the farm. The fourth
color is the inside of the house, which is brown that is lit by the yellow
lamps that they have. 

Same thing with the four characters who are in this scene (Lah’mu):

they don’t meet again :c

this whole experience with saw gives ezra the final resolve that he WILL do what he can to save lothal. doesn’t matter what the rebellion or mon mothma or even his friends have to say about it. ezra swore to protect lothal and he’s going to do that, but he’s going to do it HIS WAY.

he doesn’t want to live like saw, full of regret and pain over a world he lost. but he doesn’t want to lose sight of the fact that the REASON he wants to save lothal is so his people can live happy lives, free from the chokehold of the empire.

I also like the detail that Saw respects Ezra more than Mon Mothma. 

Whether they realize it or not, they have the same flaw in regards to the war: they think they have to do everything themselves. Mothma sees a thousand systems and is paralyzed because she can’t help them all, Saw sees a thousand systems and tries to help them all, which is doomed to failure. They just assume that these planets will not save themselves, that they need to be rescued all at once or not at all. Ezra on the other hand is focused on helping just one planet save itself, in the hopes that it’ll spread to other planets that will save themselves. It’s not selfish, just small-scale work that Saw and Mothma, and indeed the Empire, dismiss as too small to make a difference, even though it’s the small victories that will lead to the big one. 

Ezra’s war isn’t Saw’s, and it’s not Mon Mothma’s. It’s the people right here, right now, that he can help, because someone has to.

ezra is so good :c. the dynamic between ezra and saw is so much fun to see play out. two people who have lost so much and share a lot of the same pain, but who took such completely different path’s forward.

it’s no surprise that each time ezra encounters saw, the things saw has to say affect him so strongly. even when ezra vehemently disagrees with saw’s choices, the experience sticks with him.

this was just heartbreaking. forest whitaker’s delivery of saw’s line here cuts right to your heart.

his performance is what makes saw such a sympathetic character, even after all the guy’s mistakes and the bad things we know he’s done. you can’t help but feel saw’s pain right alongside him.
