IMO, the single most important line for Cassian’s characterization is

Everything I did, I did for the rebellion. And every time I walked away from something I wanted to forget I told myself it was for a cause I believed in. A cause that was worth it.

The second most important isn’t his at all, but Chirrut’s:

There is more than one sort of prison, captain. I sense that you carry yours wherever you go.

I do find the second particularly interesting, because Cassian looks more shocked than surprised. That is, it doesn’t seem like an epiphany for him. It’s not what Chirrut reveals about his psyche that weirds him out; it’s that Chirrut is revealing things about his psyche at all.

I’ve jokingly called Cassian a psychological disaster area, which he is (:P). But it’s possible that Cassian himself is entirely aware of it.

#i’m also sort of interested by the fact that #i mean – this is one of the first things chirrut says to him #and it’s certainly sympathetic #but overall chirrut seems the most neutral on cassian #jyn must have trusted him to be so horribly betrayed; bodhi is grateful; baze thinks he looks friendly #but chirrut is just… okay on a scale of 1-10 how murdery does he look? asking for a friend #and while he’s judgy after eadu (like everyone; i think that feeds the fandom tension) he’s never at all hostile to him #he just quietly recognizes that cassian is something trapped and dangerous
