K2-SO (security droid): Why does she get a blaster and I don’t? Jyn Erso: I know how to use it. Captain Cassian Andor: That’s what I’m afraid of. Give it to me. Jyn Erso: We’re going to Jeddah. That’s a warzone. Captain Cassian Andor: That’s not the point of… Where did you get it? Jyn Erso: I found it. K2-SO: I find that answer vague and unconvincing. Jyn Erso: Trust goes both ways. [Cassian turns and goes over to take the co-pilot seat next to K2-SO] K2-SO: You’re letting her keep it. Would you like the know the probability of her using it against you? It’s high. Captain Cassian Andor: Let’s get going. K-2SO: It’s very high.

This is still a continuation of the Christmas playlist here — largely OPM Christmas songs (original Pinoy or Filipino music) … this one is an original composition of Jose Mari Chan, performed also by the composer…
If you prefer minimalist, simply tap the soundcloud pod at the foot of the page to stop the autoplay.

Quotes from Rogue One
(the backstory of Star Wars
“A New Hope”)
(Just to understand this scene, here’s a brief description, I removed spoilers, don’t worry, this is very general)
From starwars.wikia:
Orson Krennic is the Director of the Advanced Weapons Research Division of the Galactic Empire. Circumstances brought him and brilliant engineer-physicist Galen Erso together, and they became colleagues and friends. “Galen Erso is one of the Core’s most renowned polymaths. A theoretician, a mathematician, an engineer and experimental physicist. At present he is the preeminent authority on crystals and their use in supplying enhanced power…” Galen Erso pioneered in the design of weapons including what became known as the Jedi lightsaber.
Lines, lines:
Engineer-physicist Galen Erso:
What is it you want?
Advanced Weapons Director Orson Krennic:
The work is stalled, I need you to come back.
Galen Erso:
I won’t do it Krennic
Krennic:
We’re on the verge of greatness… we’re this close… to providing peace — security for the galaxy..
Galen Erso:
You’re confusing peace… with terror.
Director Orson Krennic:
Well… it has to start somewhere.
Lines from Rogue One (the backstory of a pivotal scene in Star Wars “A New Hope”): (video below)
Dedicated to all those who had to stand up against a terroristic regime.
“May the force be with us”
This is still my Christmas playlist: The iconic Himig ng Pasko from the history-making Apo (Apo Hiking Society), covered and rendered here in a barebones arrangement of piano and beat only.
