Rogue One and Blake's 7

[watervole]

 Having just watched 'Rogue One', which I thought was great, I was greatly struck by one coincidence, which I wondered if it was intentional.

This is Saw Gerrara, maimed, aging rebel, has become more fanatic than the rest of the rebellion, trusts no one (with one exception) even when they have come to offer help..



Remind you of anyone? 



I kept seeing Gareth's face jumping off the screen at me.

It may be pure coincidence, but  I wonder....

Greg thought that at the time and I can see it now.

Not sure if I'd have noticed if you hadn't put the thought in my mind, but it does seem a likeness.

I also thought "Star One" when they were running round sticking round bombs on the sides of things.
