#RogueOne (the backstory of #StarWars) For all who had to stand up against an unjust regime: Quotes!

For     all     who     had   to   stand up  against an   unjust    regime:

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.

Now Playing … My Rogue One / Star Wars Playlist

if this were in the Philippine revolutionary context, the dialogue between the military officer and Jyn Erso (“this is a rebellion isn’t it…”) might have gone this way:

Officer: “Forgery of imperial documents… Possession of stolen property… Aggravated assault… Resisting arrest… ”

Jyn Erso: “Why — haven’t you heard of the Hernandez doctrine?” (all acts committed in pursuit of the rebellious purpose are deemed absorbed in one act of rebellion… as embodied and restated too in the “Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law… — a mouthful for a Disney character)
