Star Wars Rogue One: 20 WTF Moments
9. Sexual Tension Between Jyn & Cassian
It wasn't too surprising but also totally unnecessary that Rogue One couldn't help but occasionally hint at a burgeoning romance between Jyn and Cassian.
At first, they didn't trust one another, they argued and then they began to respect one another heading into the climactic battle, before having a tender embrace in their final moments.
The film is restrained in that it doesn't show them making out or anything, but the numerous loaded glances clearly hint at a growing fondness that, tragically enough, can never be consummated.
In that sense it has a more haunting quality to it than any romance in the history of Star Wars, but honestly the entire film could've gone without those very specific lingering looks that just drip with sexual tension.
