A video about Crosshair, The Bad Batch, Philosophy and Vultures?

something i dearly love in the past few episodes of andor, that reminds me of one of my favorite, and final, moments in the star wars (2020) run is the importance of clerks, workers, and other day to day rebels in the resistance effort

lets start with our technicians here

we don't even know much about them - just that their willful act to do their existing job in the right place, right time in the right way prevented mon mothma from immediatley being arrested during her speech, and their modest, brave tampering ensured the rebellion would come to be

and then, of course, in the ghorman arc - we have the hotel clerk. non descript, just someone on the level, who belives in the cause. in small, but vital ways, he helps cassian - but with his singular brave act of blowing open an escape route for survivors of the massacre, he ensures dozens and dozens survive

clerk courage is shown more at length in the final issue of star wars 2020, in which the gang are attempting to steal a blood sample of palpatine from his senator days to try and trigger an old force artifact to kill him. the wider moral play that happens is interesting, but the focus here is on the clerk who gives them the option at all

here, again, we see that a clerk going about their day to day job can and is VITAL to the rebel alliance. which is to say - not everyone has to run away to yavin and join the frontlines. not everyone should.

because not only is not everyone able to be a rebel soldier, engineer, intel officer, pilot, what have you, the rebel alliance NEEDS these clerks. what would've happened to the rebel alliance if those technicians hadn't sealed the door? or those survivors of the massacre had the hotel clerk not blown open the door, and whatever future they had because of it?

in real life too, not everyone is going to be at a protest or a strike or a few things more intense than that. beit accessibility, distance, or having other circumstances or responsibilities not allowing someone to be in that position. but don't let that make it seem for an instant you're useless, because clerks doing their job at the right place, right time, in the right way to do what you can, when you can.

and believing there's nothing we can do just because we're not the main characters is to give up on hope - and you don't have to be a rebel soldier to be a rebel, rebellion is a torch that can be passed along - and as we know

Just a style scribble.

So time heals all wounds, I guess. It wasn't time that did it
