Will echo the sentiments that I was ready to roll straight into Rogue One once the finale ended. But in a bigger picture, the absolute mastery of this series made me appreciate the original trilogy a lot more.
Is there more that I missed? Bix and a baby? Who is the baby supposed to be?Be sure to stay for the final credits. Not what you think, but a nice touch to wrap things up.

Sorry, I meant is the child supposed to be a character in the future or just a feel good story to close? Makes sense why Bix wanted to leave nowKassian’s
There are theories that the baby is Poe from the sequels but I like the idea that he/she is just a person in a large galaxy. Not everything has to connect.Sorry, I meant is the child supposed to be a character in the future or just a feel good story to close? Makes sense why Bix wanted to leave now
Knowing Cass has a child he doesn't know about and he's days away from his demise isn't exactly what I'd call a feel-good story...Sorry, I meant is the child supposed to be a character in the future or just a feel good story to close? Makes sense why Bix wanted to leave now

And with the way Gilroy has (wisely) constructed this story, I'd be shocked (and disappointed) if the kid is supposed to be someone we're already familiar with.
That kid? That kid grows up to be:

Just kidding... I hope.

Poe already has a canon* backstory, which includes parents who are not Cassian and Bix. Agreed that not everything needs to be connected. Such a weird impulse from a lot of fans, imoThere are theories that the baby is Poe from the sequels but I like the idea that he/she is just a person in a large galaxy. Not everything has to connect.
To me it was highlighting the heartache and the hope that Cassian created for Bix (and others he was close to along the way). He grew up without his birth parents and his adopted father was killed when he was young. The heartache is that Cassian won't get to be the father he never had and have a life with the person he loved. The hope is that with his sacrifice for the rebellion, Bix and their child have a shot at a peaceful future.Sorry, I meant is the child supposed to be a character in the future or just a feel good story to close?

Yep, that's what I was referring to.I think this was referring to the music at the end of the credits?
I watched Rogue One last night, followed by the opening scene of A New Hope.
I have adored Rogue One since its release. It's a gorgeous movie and the characters are compelling.
But...my goodness! Everything is now richer and has more depth. Jyn Erso feels less like the main character (I didn't hate that like some fans did) and Cassian feels fully formed.
One unexpected treat was that the opening crawl of A New Hope is now completely informed by Andor/Rogue One. I mean...
Indeed. Without the years of work by Luthen, Kleya, Mon Mothma, Andor, et al building the rebellion and laying the groundwork, Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca couldn't possibly have had the impact they did.Honestly, I’ve always thought of the title as reference to Luke. After Andor and Rogue One, it has just as much meaning to the rebellion in general. Just seeing the story of how the rebellion got started and the oppression of the empire adds more depth to the original trilogy.
Last night, I got through Rogue One right to the point they were heading out to Scarif. I had watched ANH on May the 4th. Seeing the amount of events and sacrifice that it took to get that farm boy his one shot to save the day is incredible.I watched Rogue One last night, followed by the opening scene of A New Hope.
