Mar 30, 2017 at 16:28 comment added anotherdave @Michael Yeah, I was thinking that as well :) would really be pushing it down our throats alright if they went any further
Mar 30, 2017 at 16:17 comment added user11521 @anotherdave so nice that the line wasn't as cheesy as it could have been. "Leia: A new hope."

Mar 29, 2017 at 22:30 comment added Michael Lorton When I watched the original at its premiere, I assumed that the "plans" were a total MacGuffin, just something that everyone in the movie cared about but no one in the audience did. I was rather surprised when the ending actually depended on the plans. Bizarrely, the crude diagram of the battle-station from the plans, which showed the dish of the main gun exactly on its equator, did not match the actual vessel, which had the dish entirely in the northern hemisphere. Fortunately, the thermal exhaust port was exactly where it was planned.
Mar 29, 2017 at 14:29 comment added Carsten S Ah, ok. I did not find it necessary either, but I did not get that it is a joke. I am not the target audience for the joke (even though I have some understanding of what is going on), so this is not too surprising.
Mar 29, 2017 at 14:26 comment added Bob @CarstenS The spoiler tag is meant to be a joke. We've known that "several transmissions were beamed to the ship" since 1977—there's no other way Rogue One could have ended.

Mar 29, 2017 at 10:14 comment added anotherdave @TimSparrow yeah presumably if you're carrying secret plans, you don't reveal that to every low-level crew member on board your ship. I presume Out of Universe, the reason for her saying 'Hope' is just to have another echo of Episode IV, and tie everything in together.
