I suppose, but then again we saw little of the relationship between Father/ Daughter. We saw a little, but not enough to elicit any empathy when he was killed.
I actually felt the little we saw was perfect. Jyn had as much of a relationship (or at least can remember having one) as we as viewers we given on screen. Her entire life was spent assuming there was no possibility of any relationship with her father - it was only when she (and the audience) saw the hologram did it humanize him to her and actually give her a 'tangible' goal: She COULD have a relationship with him, and she COULD see that he was a good man and not this odd empire worker she had assumed in her mind.
When he was killed we didn't feel bad because she lost someone special to her or that we knew well; we felt bad because she lost all chance of finally getting that connection and reclaiming a lost childhood. She lost a possible future, a good one, that she got but a momentary glimpse of in the hologram.
