* CycleOfRevenge: The primary reason that Chirrut doesn't want to work with Saw Gerrara and the Partisans; his more organized violent rebellion has only increased the security and caused the Empire to view the Holy City as an active battlefield- complete with walkers and checkpoints, which in turn causes more desperate rebels to turn to Gerrara, and thus lead to harsher treatment from the Empire. With their numbers seemingly endless, the only thing Chirrut believes is being harmed by the conflict are the innocent of Jedha.

* BittersweetEnding: Played with. [[spoiler: Chirrut and Baze successfully escort the orphans to escape beyond Jedha's Imperial-occupied surface. While the ship is confirmed to escape past the Destroyer, it is also emphasized before that even if they do escape Jedha, it's up in the air whether they would find appropriate shelter and Chirrut and Baze likely have no means of tracking their status and welfare. If anything, they at least gave them hope.]]

* EvilSmellsBad: Chirrut, who's blindness has left him far more sensitive to his other sense, internally notes that one of the more prominent changes on Jedha after the Imperial occupation is the smell; as their mining operations have polluted the environment more, water has become scarce enough that few in the Holy City have access to baths.
