anghraineThere are few things in the fandom that I find more viscerally irritating than that bullshit in the RO novelization about how Cassian's motive for not shooting Galen wasn't that he privately was convinced by the message and knew he'd be killing a (more or less) innocent man, or that it really came down to his own morality at all, but that somehow through his scope he realized that Galen ~had Jyn's eyes~.
Look, I ship Jyn/Cassian like no one's business, but that is so stupid. I mean, there's no way he could even see that, but also it completely adjusts the focus of the scene from Cassian's independent arc around moral compromise to his feelings for Jyn. I hate it, hate it, hate it, and somehow that's the novelization thing that has gotten adopted by virtually everyone and cannot be escaped.
I dislike the novelization in terms of Cassian in general, and ... not everything about Jyn/Cassian, which Freed obviously ships, but quite a lot (e.g. the whole "they didn't really know each other" thing). This is the Worst, though.
