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

I disagree with the 'joke' part; I don't disagree with the cruelty, and I think that things can be cruel (to characters) without being cruel (or a joke) to the reader. (And I don't think you're at any point set up to believe that the Force can make -anything- happen?)

It *can*, Yoda explicitly says so in ESB It just *doesn't* Luminous beings we are, not this crude matter... and yet the laws of physics that seem to govern crude matter work most of the time because that's what the midichlorians have chosen to do for this cycle

That's the whole painful thing about witnessing a miracle, is that to witness a miracle is to understand the laws of reality are subordinate to something else and things *could* be totally different from how they are, but they just aren't

Like 20 minutes after the force bails on Donnie Yen we get Vader just MASSACRING a ship full of dudes using the force, so clearly it could make things different it just doesn't
