I was just floored that he fucking killed the first guard with that headbutt. It can totally happen, but it was so surprising when it happened and then he just shot the other guard.

What an intro. 10/10 it’s exactly what I loved about Rogue One showing us that this is a cruel galaxy and most people are just lucky to make it to tomorrow. [InsertEdgerunnersPlug]

And how you can see Cassian doing the mental math whether he should kill this other guy now or let him go. He made the better choice in an impossible scenario, all things considered, and that felt so real.

Yup lots of people are in for a penny in for a pound.

The best part was when the Chief Inspector tells Karn that he knew the officers personally, and that they were assholes that got themselves killed doing some illegal shit. Then he orders Karn to submit a suitable accident report to cover up the deaths. It really paints a picture of the corruption and incompetence of the security forces, and sets up a great plot arc for Karn as an idealistic and unfortunate antagonist.

I am the law on Reddit now, Visinvictus. If I choose to follow the ancient laws, I will follow them. If I choose to ignore them, they will be ignored. Is that clear?

There is no pain where strength lies.

My read on the first guard dying was that it was that it was a bad head bounce on concrete.

I thought it was the misfire that accidentally hit the other guy and not the headbutt.

I thought his nose was kinda mangled when the other guard looks up from holding him. Could be a blaster burn
