Early in the film, the two have a sneaky meetup at a slummy outer space trading outpost called the Ring of Kafrene, one of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rogue One<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s two thousand chyron locations. It\u2019s a strange scene. Tivik\u2019s job is to inform Cassian, yet Cassian has to pull each reluctant bit of information out of him piece by piece until he has the whole story. (The whole story: here comes a Death Star!)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tivik is a bit of a nervous wreck. He doesn\u2019t want to be there and needs to get away from Cassian as fast as he can. He\u2019s not fast enough though. Two Stormtroopers interrupt their rendezvous and Cassian shoots them dead in a fashion that once again makes you question the worth of their armor. With the jig firmly up, Cassian and Tivik need to escape but Tivik\u2019s broken arm prevents much mobility. So Cassian shoot him dead, too. Tivik, we hardly knew ya.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_this_Character_Warrant_a_Toy\"><\/span><b>Does this Character Warrant a Toy?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of design, Tivik is not toy-worthy. He\u2019s just a dude. I suppose to us, all <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> characters are aliens, but he\u2019s a human alien. They do throw some intriguing details on him, though. He has some kind of breathing device dangling around his neck, for one. Unlike Saw Gerrera, he doesn\u2019t use it, so we\u2019re left just dying to know what that\u2019s all about.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But more curious, what\u2019s up with his broken arm? Obviously, the scene requires some physical impairment that keeps Tivik from running away with Cassian, but that\u2019s writer\u2019s room stuff. It\u2019s a silly look, no matter how you explain the narrative necessity. Did he simply fall down? An arm wrestling mishap? You can replace limbs with robot versions in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Perhaps that might seem extreme for a broken bone, but Tivik\u2019s bad arm ultimately ends up being a mortal wound. I\u2019m sure if you asked, he would prefer one of those cool robots limbs to being dead in a trading post alley.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Important_is_the_Character\"><\/span><b>How Important is the Character?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every character in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rogue One<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is important.

The information Cassion gets from Tivik allows him to go free Jyn Erso and on and on and on until the day is saved with Luke\u2019s fateful shot. It all matters. Tivik is a darn hero and we should all show him more respect. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rogue One<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> novelization at least tries by telling us his breath smells like cinnamon. It\u2019s not much, but way to go on having nice breath, Tivik. I know plenty of people who don\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tivik\u2019s more im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te function specifically serves Cassian Andor\u2019s character, however. Introducing a primary hero by having him murder a guy in cold blood is a bold move, especially for a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> film. Yet it establishes the moral compromises Cassian\u2019s made to fight this war. When he speaks later of wanting to help Jyn against the Rebellion\u2019s orders, we don\u2019t have to imagine what nefarious deeds he wishes to absolve. We saw him murder a guy. A guy named Tivik. His breath smelled like cinnamon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_this_a_Secretly_Great_Star_Wars_Character\"><\/span><b>Is this a Secretly Great Star Wars Character?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite Tivik\u2019s importance, he is not a secretly great <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> character. He is simply too bland. Furthermore, he lacks charm and is too nervous to like even with his nice breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then, we don\u2019t really want to like Tivik because that would hurt our ability to hang with Cassian. Even if Tivik were some evil-looking alien creature, his death would still garner too much sympathy because evil-looking alien creatures are cool and sometimes remind you of your dog.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_3 --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Tivik to serve his very specific function, he must unfortunately sacrifice likability, charm, memorable features or really anything else that draws us to a character. So instead he\u2019s a nervous nobody, doomed to move along the plot and support a more important figure. It\u2019s not justice, but as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rogue One<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is so happy to teach us, not everyone gets what they deserve. Sometimes you sacrifice your life to save the whole galaxy and don\u2019t even get a movie about it for forty years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/rogue-one-tivik\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#The Galaxy-Wide Star Wars Character Guide: Tivik \u2013 \/Film&#8221; (Welcome to The Galaxy-Wide Star Wars Character Guide, where we give proper due to the smaller figures in Star Wars history.)
