Cassian Andor Appreciation Week: Day 1- Rebellion

We’re spies. Saboteurs. Assassins. Everything I did, I did for the Rebellion. And every time I walked away from something I wanted to forget I told myself it was for a cause that I believed in. A cause that was worth it. Without that, we’re lost. Everything we’ve done would have been for nothing. I couldn’t face myself if I gave up now.

A Meaningful Echo occurs when characters, in their usual way, say things to one another. Normally, these things aren’t all that notable or special—they’re part of normal dialogue. However, later on in the story, one of these “ordinary” lines is repeated. But unlike the original line, it isn’t in a normal, throwaway context. It’s at a moment of emotional height,  when the viewer or reader is deep into the work, making a callback to an earlier scene.  If it had meaning before – it’s now been expanded to a much greater context. It’s gone from being something ordinary to something extraordinary.

Cassian says it to Jyn on Jedha, and she says it to the Alliance leaders when they say there’s no hope of getting the Death Star plans off Scarif.
