Pretty sure Jyn gets with the guy in Soren's profile pic.

Unnecessary romance is forced into literally every movie nowadays. #Tauriel.

Hm, I know some people are shipping Jyn and Cassian, but I thought that was more of a fan construct based on their movie friendship.

Yeah, you're right on that one.
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

Was there any romance, then?

Well, it showed a Jyn's mom and dad, but no kissing I believe. Besides that, I don't remember any other kind of romance.

O_O

That's interesting.  In Common Sense Media's review, they claimed there was obvious attraction going on and a climactic kiss.  I wonder if they somehow got mixed up with some other movie. :P

There was not one single kiss. There was a climactic hug ( @Gonff the Mousethief was that a hug or just them standing close to each other?) and hand hold though. But almost totally devoid of romance. Jyn and Cassian are only friends.
There was more war violence than TFA, obviously. But not as much or as graphic as Winter Soldier.
After reading PluggedIn's review, I think it's accurate..

Okay.  Thanks.  Now I'm really wondering what Common Sense Media was thinking. :P

Dare I say that they...*giggle*... don't have common sense?

AHAHAHAHAHA

*ahem*

Their age recommendations are often way off, which makes me wonder if any of them have kids of their own.

I guess it was a hug, but more of a happy hug more than romantic.

I doubt it, because if they had kids they would most like base a lot of their opinions on what they thought best for their kid. Plus it's probably just some guy who like to watch stuff first anyway.

Like so many other "reviewers". :P Just some person living in their parents' basement who doesn't spend their time on something more productive. . .

Finn/Rey edit I just finished slaving over and am by now 10000% done with.  I'm largely happy with how it turned out, though.  Lyrics are taken from Owl City's Speed of Love, with one word altered.

Spoilery piece of Rogue One fanart I really like (it's been a couple months since the movie's release, but I'm still putting it in a spoiler)
