Yeah I love the one sided part. It was like an inverted version of "But for me, it was Tuesday" from Street fighter.

Rogue One is a land of contrasts. It could be the best film ever and it still would be the first time anyone used CGI to resurrect a non consenting dead actor tainting it morally.
But it's also got wretched vibes at points, kind of orientalist with the force sensitive monk guy, kind of racist in the way Saw's faction when not scary aliens are dark skinned and terrorist coded, compared to the pasty Yavin 4 crew. Kind of lib too.
And the first 2/3rds is kind of janky, a series of disconnected vignettes, some good, some meh.
But the last 1/3rd is pretty fantastic star wars, the jumping between Jyn and Cassian infiltration, the battle on the ground with the rebels trying to sow confusion, the battle in space, the U-wings and X-Wings racing through the closing shield gate to give support even though it's a suicide mission with no way back. All really great.
Also the film does a lot to show how the rebellion is an alliance with factions that coalesce and fragment given the circumstances, which makes the original trilogy make more sense. And Andor then expanded on.
I think the detail is a majority were not white, many being black, First Nations or Mexican. Though White Cowboys were possibly a plurality in places
But most cowboy/outlaw stuff is just made up/exaggerated from books and films. Like a shopkeeper was more likely to have a revolver than a cowboy, because you want a rifle or shotgun when in the middle of nowhere.

Re: choking.
The thing I say is; would you want someone to ask your consent to put a plastic bag over your head and wrap tape around it?Because as crazy is it sound that is a far safer breath play than choking (suffocation is different to strangulation) and you'd still want to have pre-planned discussion and active consent.

Yeah they have worked together on a bunch of stuff. Diego Luna is based AF about trans rights.
