Baze: Wow. You know every one of my stories.
Chirrut: And you know every one of mine. I guess it’s official: we’re an old married couple.
Baze: Nice!
Chirrut: We did it!

it is honestly keeping me up thinking about how many asian bodies are treated with so much brutality in death so I really do not have time for Baze and Chirrut being stuck next to typical white male narratives.
Just in sci fi alone off the top of my head: Wen triplets in Pac Rim - killed by Kaiju. Toshiko Sato in Torchwood - shot in the gut. Glenn Rhys in TWD - baseball club to the head. Maggie Chen in OB - backstory fodder. Vincent in AOS - I can’t actually remember but burnt to death, I think. Skye’s mother, cut to threads.
And so on and so forth. Their deaths are for shock value and they get mourned but after that there’s not more to it. Not counting: all the cannon fodder and Yellow Peril movies and Oren Ishii and Beverly Katz and Daredevil and Iron FIst and all the others from media that I don’t watch or gave up long ago.
And they could be well-developed characters in otherwise decent media but their death is always so fucking brutal. So of course we build immunity to that pain, of course we’re less sensitive to seeing the same bodies on the news - it grates you down, after a while. It is so so tiring.
And on top of that I’ve never seen two Asian men openly show affection and bicker and tease eachother and make jokes with history behind them except for in LGBT movies (and I guess recently Star Trek). because it’s a cultural taboo to be too emotional or too affectionate or too afflicted in front of non-familiars and that has turned us into Inscrutable Orientals.
So if I have to have a death scene - give me one that is fucking tender, dammit. Give me one that has meaning and emotion behind it, that does justice to the historical emotional baggage between the two characters. Give me the fact that Baze and Chirrut - their relationship, the narrative space they took up, their history - was something that fucking mattered instead of just another body because compared to all others, this death scene was by far least uncomfortable to watch.

The Force is with me, and I am with the Force. And I fear nothing, for all is as the Force wills it.

“You cannot be left alone,” Baze said. “You would walk into walls.” “I have not walked into a wall unintentionally in twenty years.” “Yes, because I am here to keep you from doing that.”

heard yall were into yung guardians. WELL,,
chirrut: team sweet flips. takes his forms seriously but extremely Extra when sparring. he’ll kick your ass. he’ll kick your dad’s ass. he’ll kick his own ass.
baze: they don’t even have guan dao in this setting. he just tied a sabre to a staff one day and was like “think I can use this?” and his teachers were like “well we won’t stop you”. he wears his hair like that because it’s the closest he’s allowed to having a padawan braid.

It bothers him, because he knows it is possible. Baze Malbus was once the most devoted Guardian of us all.

Everything about this entire exchange is joy. - Cassian on “?!?” setting, being like “WTF, did I just meet a Jedi, I always wanted to but this is not what I expected and I am confused.” - Chirrut looking so chirpy and serene and pleased with himself - Chirrut is literally just chillin’ on a stormtrooper - Baze’s flabbergasted exasperation - Cassian tripling to the “???!!!???” setting
OH MY GOD I NEVER NOTICED HE’S SITTING ON A STORMTROOPER

headcanon:
- after losing his faith, Baze spent a few years being angry and broken and incapable of any real affection.
- but even with a heart full of bitterness and spite, even when all of his fingers felt like broken glass, he still wanted Chirrut to feel loved
- so he’d try, pathetically, just sort of patting Chirrut’s arms and face with the back of his hands
- Chirrut understood exactly what he meant, though. a weak little half-tap on the face meant “I’m not really here right now, but please don’t give up. please keep trying to find me. we’re going to be together again. don’t cry, don’t cry”
