Quite the opposite! This movie has all the beats of a romance subplot but without any specifically depicted sexual attraction. In place of a kiss at the end, they embrace with strong fondness.
This is a main source of trauma for the main character. She was abandoned by both parents and an adoptive parent. There are multiple scenes where she must deal with flashbacks, confrontations, and complicated feelings regarding those times.
The male lead and female lead have mild romantic tension, and there's a sequence where he "gaslights" her by causing her to doubt her perception to his advantage. It's not an overt relationship or overt domestic violence, but it will make emotional abuse victims very uncomfortable.
(Vague spoilers) Jyn justifiably confronts someone for betraying her, and he responds by repeatedly insisting that she's only saying that because she's in shock.
it is not clear. a disabled character appears to use an oxygen mask however this could be oxygen or a drug or medication. it is not discussed and does not appear to have negative effects on this characters well-being
Spoiler light: A character is restrained and left to be mind probed by a huge space creature with tentacles. He struggles and shouts, and it fades to black.
Essentially yes. They fall and hit several beams on the way down. It's uncomfortable and visceral to watch and listen to although (spoilers) they miraculously survive the fall.
a toddler is moved by a stranger to keep them from being harmed and is immediately found by what appears to be a guardian. the stranger has obviously good intentions and let’s the child leave with this guardian
It is not shown directly, but a child is saved from the middle of a guerrilla war zone in Jedha City, only for the entire city to be destroyed shortly after by the Death Star.
Aside from the general plot, there are three especially heart-wrenching scenes where a major character makes a decision to face certain death to advance the mission while other characters react with shock and grief.
Yes, three times, and the parent aspect is the main theme in their deaths. (Major spoilers) The main character loses all three parent figures in her life and is obviously traumatized by it. When she was a child, her mother was shot in front of her. During the events of the movie, she has to leave her adoptive father behind to be crushed by falling rocks, and she watches her birth father get injured in an explosion and holds him as he dies.
When the film time skips to the main protagonist as an adult, we see her in Imperial custody, only to be freed and effectively "recaptured" by her Rebel liberators in the same scene when she tries to resist.
Jyn is being essentially interrogated by Rebel higher ups, and one of them is very dismissive toward the alias she's using. He is curt and dramatic when he says her real name. (She seems fairly comfortable using this name for the rest of the movie however)
a character appears to be chronically ill, wearing a full-body suit of metal that seems to support his life but does not have cancer explicitly or implicitly
Twice.
1. A character cries and sinks to their knees after hearing a message from an estranged family member. At the same time, the building is starting to collapse, but they're still unnerved and shaking. Finally they're dragged away by a friend who later scolds them for forgetting to grab a key item on the way out.
2. A character is "shell shocked" after the death of a loved one. Their friend pulls them away but then later tries to take advantage of their condition to gaslight them over a correct suspicion. ("No, you're only accusing me of that because you're in shock.")
1. A disabled character with gray hair stays behind to die in an explosion even though they could have escaped with the others. "I will run no longer," they announce, and there's a dramatic shot of them taking off their breathing mask, closing their eyes, and "embracing" the falling rocks.
2. A character who has struggled with guilt and mental health issues for many years volunteers for a suicide mission with a monologue that makes it very clear that this guilt is one of their reasons for volunteering. During the mission, they tell another character to "keep going!" while they face almost certain death in a firefight.
Yes and this is brought up many times. The protagonist has severe PTSD due to parental abandonment. She is on a mission when she is surprised to see a holo-recorded message from her estranged father DIRECTLY addressed to her. She freezes and slowly begins to cry. When the building begins to collapse, she has to be dragged away by another character. Later she stammers that she forgot to bring the device/recording. The other characters don't show her sympathy.
Two male characters die, after a close, decades long, affectionate friendship that's ambiguous but easy to interpret as marriage. (not confirmed by canon at this time)
Two characters put their arms around each other in soft flickering light. Their faces are very close, and many interpret the scene romantically, but it immediately fades to black.
No, and I feel it's important to clarify that there are even sequences on a tropical beach type planet, and there's never a moment where a character is depicted as being even in slight danger of drowning.
LOTS! Firefights. Firefights where a small child is in danger. Firing squad where innocent minor characters die. Major characters getting held at gunpoint, kicked, and bags put over their heads. Apparent friendly fire. Friendly fire prevented at the last second. A major character ordered to take out another major character and then lots of tense shots of their target through a sniper scope with their finger slowly squeezing the trigger. Major character injured by gunshots. Major character seriously injured by gunshots and falling to certain death. Major character shot repeatedly in a last stand firefight until death. Major character pretending to console a minor character only to abruptly shoot them in the back without warning. Tense "give me the gun" argument. Main character threatened with gun and apparently shot but saved at the last possible second.
