You know what makes Rogue One so incredibly genius? The simplicity. It seems like a fault at the beginning, something just doesn’t feel right: the characters don’t seem like protagonists, the story doesn’t seem that important, everything feels like a side story that no one ever knew… and then you realize that that’s exactly what it is, its not supposed to be a big flashy story with your typical heroes, its a story about a bunch of nobodies who did a very small part of the rebellion, but without them nothing would’ve happened.
Nobody gave them recognition, nobody even cared, but they saved countless lives and died with no fame or recognition. Just like it happens in real life.

Bodhi/Jyn/Cassian omg how the fuck did we survive that? cuddlepuddle
after they get off Scarif (as clearly happened at the end of the movie)
“This is Rogue One, calling any Alliance ships that can hear us. This is Rogue One calling any alliance ship.”
Jyn wraps her arms more tightly around Cassian’s shoulders as they wait, breathless. She can feel him shaking under the press hands.
“Rogue One! You’re alive!” The com crackles into life, “Where are you?” Jyn presses herself closer to Cassian as he thumbs the com, reopens the channel that pours their voices out across empty space to the Alliance fleet overhead.
She almost lost the chance to do this. To feel Cassian’s chest rise and fall under her fingers, the warmth of his skin leaching into her frozen palms. If he had been a moment later on the tower… If he had shot Krennic just a moment later… If they had waited just a few seconds longer on the platform…
