Broke and happy
Actually I really like that scene as well. People being rude and jumping in when it isn't their turn to speak. I could buy that that's how it might go for these various leaders who had previously never been tested in putting their money where their mouth is. They come off as a bunch of poseurs who viewed the Alliance meetings as some sort of emotional therapy but were never really serious about putting their words or complaints into action. When finally faced with the turning pointing of actually taking action most are terrified. It actually makes sense that you never see those other system leaders in the Alliance after that.
And I actually find some of the lines to be pretty hilarious. "I joined the Alliance not a suicide pact!" And I literally laugh every time the one whiny guy says "A Death Star? This is nonsense!" It's just an organic moment where someone actually pays lip service to the absurdity of Star Wars and I love it.
Of course Cassian didn't attend the meeting. He's all "see I knew those idiots wouldn't believe you. It's why I don't even listen to them anymore and anytime we want to do something we just do it 'off the record.'"
Mon Mothma seems to secretly agree. Almost like when she says, "I'm sorry Jyn, without the full support of the Council the odds are just too great" it's code for "okay I've said what I'm supposed to say, anyone who wants to take matters into their own hands be my guest, Raddus you listening?"
I like the context just not the delivery at least from parts of it.
Oh well, Wor-Gar gets final say on the matter.
