I mean if you're determined to not only read it in the most spiteful "ONLY I MATTER!" way and also ruin the scene for literally everyone else... *shrug*

Are you saying Baze didn't have a right to be mad at that point

I don't even really read it in the same light you are, and I'm faIrly sure we aren't supposed to see Baze as having done so either. It's not a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Rage Against the Author, his last stand is simply an angry, sad and ultimately peaceful last stand.

He literally is repeating Chirrut's mantra, and they all already know they're already dead. It's not a "The Force is a cruel joke!" moment - that's a viewer's subjective read.

Chirrut wasn't "discarded" because he was a dead man anyways, he wasn't trying to live, he was trying to get his job done.

Okay, well,
@saintwalker98 is right though, if the Force can make one impossible thing happen it could make infinite impossible things happen, it could've saved all their lives It just didn't1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Even from an in-universe POV this is an extremely bitter pill to swallow, this is explicitly why Anakin turns to the Dark Side, because he can't follow the Jedi Code and adopt a stance of stoic fatalism and detachment about it

This movie was a tragedy (as was the prequel trilogy) and the whole thing about tragedies is they are by definition hard to take You can believe in the Jedi notion that attachment should be avoided because we all merge with the Force in the end anyway But it's painful and hard

Or you can simply accept that sometimes shit is bigger than you.

Well, some of us can Anakin couldn't Part of the plan that was bigger than him was that he not be able to (so can you really blame him)

That's part of the paradox here, because to get all mad at Anakin like his nature isn't also part of the will of the Force the way Obi-Wan did is itself to be a bad Jedi

I mean, that's not necessarily true either, that's assuming a perspective of absolute predestination

Anakin falls because he is going in contrast to what the Force wanted him to do and following the Dark Side instead. This isn't a very foreign concept.
