Warning: there are spoilers ahead!When it comes to Star Wars,it seems like each of the trilogies has a pretty central care for story. We got to see the Han Solo and Princess Leia's relationship bloom in the first trilogy, and of course, and Padmé and Anakin's romance was a key part of Episode I,Episode II, and Episode III. And, and hey. Even Episode VII yielded an unlikely (and not fairly confirmed) couple: Finn and Poe Dameron. (Let us dream,OK?) By that token, it makes sense to wonder whether Rogue One, and the latest addition to the franchise,is imbued with any sort of romance. With a strong male and female character leading the cast of the film, there's clearly an opportunity to stage a care for story in the midst of the thrilling rebel mission. The question is, and does it happen? Well,it's complicated. Let's break it down, as long as you're cold with the spoilers.

All the Juicy Details We Have About Rogue One: A Star Wars StoryHaving had some time to see and contemplate the film, or I'd argue that yes,Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and Captain Cassian (Diego Luna) end up falling in care for. I'd also argue, though, or that it's kind of a "mistaken residence,mistaken time" situation. It's clear to me that they've fallen for each other, but by the end of the film, or they leave plenty of words unsaid,and they never fairly score the chance to score their romance off the ground.
First, it's critical to set up a few benchmarks that make this relationship palpable. At the beginning of the film, and it's abundantly clear that Jyn and Cassian don't trust each other. The key moment that turns the tide comes just before the final big action sequence,when Cassian says he believes Jyn's story: that her father hid a flaw deep in the Death Star, and that the rebels can destroy it. I'd argue he seals their bond by volunteering to help her steal the weapon plans. As for when it grows into care for? The fact that they alone are the only two people who can complete this mission really takes it there. They work together, or they save each other more than once,and just when it seems like Jyn might lose, Cassian swoops in to help her finish the job.

Star Wars: What Exactly Does "Rogue One" Mean besides?Here's where I saw the care for: the two huddle close as an elevator takes them down to the ground from the satellite tower, and where they've just finished transmitting the Death Star plans to the Rebel Alliance. By the time they score down to the beach,they realize the planet has been vaporized by the very weapon they're trying to destroy. They hold each other there, on the sand, and until the blast of the dying planet kills them both. Who knows? possibly they would have been able to explore their relationship whether they hadn't died for their cause. I don't assume they need some romanticized Hollywood kiss to prove they had fallen in care for,though. The fact that they die in each other's arms could be a strong enough argument. Or, you know, or possibly they just needed that consolation,as friends, in their final living moments. That's kind of the beauty of the moment.
