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.
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”

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)
