People, this is not how toilet training works.
There was such an opportunity here to make this one about parenting two kids and how it can change the dynamic but instead it’s about…basically nothing. Doubling the number of children doesn’t seem to change their parenting style or approach at all. None of the conflicts come from having a new baby. They ignore the kids for most of the film.
Also, the Tri-Star fanfare when Julie takes her first steps is RIDICULOUS.

That thing of people from your past knowing different versions of you. They might still exist in you but haven’t been activated yet. The younger version of yourself isn’t the unformed version you become as a grown up. You are always fully formed. You are always who you are.
The best kind of story where it’s hyper specific but that specificity makes it universal. (Everyone thinks this movie is about them.)
Also: long takes! Interesting blocking. Subtle, beautiful.

Love that Mendo gets use his own accent. There’s actually nothing as terrifying as well-deployed strine.
Jyn’s character arc is the same as Han Solo’s (aloof outsider turned true believer) but that development happens off screen. Nothing she witnesses really makes her go ‘oh I must the Rebellion for realsies now’. (I think that’s what her meeting with Saw is meant to be but it doesn’t land.)
It is funny how in Andor almost no-one in the Rebellion we see references the Force whereas here suddenly all the Rebels are saying ‘May the Force be with you’ the whole time.
