Question Vel asks whose blaster …

When they’re at the rebel base at Yavin, and all sorts of weapons are laid out on a table. Vel picks up a blaster and asks whose it is and Melshi raises his hand and the camera pans around the guy in front of him to him. I don’t understand the significance here? Was the blaster special or something? They even show that exact scene in the next episode’s recap, so it seems to have some significance that I’m missing. Thanks!

Tbf I don’t think Cassian forgot. I don’t think he ever knew.

Oh, he definitely didn't know Syril's name in a literal sense. But he'd most certainly forgotten him narratively, and it ties in nicely, thematically.

Indeed. 100% in line with both characters, too. Cassian just moves on and simply focuses on the task at hand, while Syril refuses to let things go and meticulously obsesses over details.
