I don't count this as fan service. It's more interesting than any motivation they could've shown that I said I wish was there. But those reasons for the motivation shown didn't have enough reason's to back it up. This plot of the story give's Krennic those reasons for his motivation. It would be stupid to take it out. They just needed to do the same justification for the Rebels. Calling it "fan service" doesn't make sense at all. Those words are being thrown around recklessly.

No. Theres no reason why both couldn't have been shown other than time. II wouldve just made the movie a tad longer to show those motivations better. Which in turn would've developed them. It didnt even feel long to me so I wouldnt have cared.
