Finished S1E3 again last night. I really like the montage cuts at the end with young Cassian (Kasso) and adult Cassian leaving their respective planets. It was kind of moving, with the music, and just how Maarva pulled him out from his own planet (when she caught up smashing the Empire ship controls -- he had been emotionally hurt by them even at that age), albeit somewhat against his will, and then Luthen taking him away as an adult, although here he gets to make more of a choice as much as flight from (again) being killed by the Empire being any kind of real choice.

And that was cut with Maarva's tears at losing him the second time.

it's almost like Cassian was driven into the arms of the Empire's enemies multiple times through his life, despite his initial reluctances. It was almost fated to happen. And seeing it reflected in the eyes of the boy and then the eyes of the man... Just imagine, Maarva's act of compassion (which seemed cruel at the time, but she was probably right about the Empire just slaughtering Kasso's people... I don't remember if we find out more) at adopting Cassian ended up enabling the Rebellion to win eventually, although a lot of shit goes down before then. (Cassian IS finally killed by the Empire, ironically, but he's at peace with it and it drives a fatal blow into the Empire's heart.)

I again really like the look and feel of the town there, and the metal striking to mark end and beginning of day, and also all the small alerts done by the makeshift network to warn of trouble.

It's kind of hilarious to look at the emerging joy in Syril Karn's face when he thinks that (despite going against his superior) he's managed to bring down a terrorist on his own.... and then the despondency as he realizes he's been totally outplayed as a child would be.
