    So first I just want to say I love nerding out over Star Wars, so this is all in that spirit and not disagreement or invalidating your points.

    I could write a lot here just to explore all of your punts, but the essence boils down to this:

    Her suddenly-not-traitor fathers dying wish was that this life’s work in hiding a flaw in the Death Star be realized to undo the super weapon he’d been forced to create. So she enlisted the rebellion to her cause rather than the other way around. Her whole speech wasn’t I’m suddenly a true believer — it was don’t be hypocrites. Seize the opportunity my father provided and fucking do something.

    It was all to shame them into completing her father’s work, which she suddenly could believe in — which she needed to prove to clear her father’s name.

      Fair enough, I think that’s a valid reading.

      I wish they had spent some more time on character development, to give these things some room to breathe. Show some more of Jyn’s time with Saw so we can get to know her, give her and Cassian more dialogue to discuss the turning points of the story, that dort of stuff.
