(Spoilers) The Rogue One novelization makes the saddest scene (in my opinion) even sadder

In my opinion, the saddest scene in the film is K-2SO's death. No other death got me like his. He was the most relatable of the main cast, even though he wasn't even human.In the novelization, we get these two lines regarding his death:“He reexamined his mission parameters and projected only two ways that Cassian and Jyn might retrieve their desired data cartridge and escape Scarif. Upon refinement, both appeared infinitesimally unlikely.”“With one second left until total shutdown, K-2SO chose to mentally simulate an impossible scenario in which Cassian Andor escaped alive. The simulation pleased him.”He doesn't have hope in the mission. He dies believing that Cassian and Jyn are doomed (and he's right), but he still decides to lie to himself by showing a simulation of Cassian escaping alive. It also shows that he is capable of thoughts, emotions, and hope.Really adds another layer to how sad his death was. via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2jJajKk
