Rogue One: A Star Wars Story/Nit Central Corrections

Nit Central

1. *Chris (Terik) on Thursday, December 15, 2016 - 9:21 pm:* In A New Hope, Leia tries to convince Vader that her ship is on a diplomatic mission. However events in this movie leave no doubt.  ***AWhite (Inblackestnight) on Friday, December 16, 2016 - 1:53 pm:* That was pretty glaring to me as well; not only because ANH said it was transmitted but also more than one character claimed to be on a diplomatic mission. Vader saw one of the soldiers hand over a data disk and the Tantive IV launch from the capital ship. Although I suppose it can be argued that since the two ships were docked the plans were still technically transmitted to the Tantive, there's no way the diplomatic mission cover would give even the dumbest stormtrooper pause. *SeniramUK (talk) 16:34, 2 August 2022 (UTC)* Unless this was an attempt to convince Vader that their ship wasn’t the one he saw at Scariff, but a completely different vessel that looks identical!**
2. *Chris (Terik) on Sunday, January 08, 2017 - 2:09 pm:* Josh M (Joshm) on Thursday, January 26, 2017 - 1:47 pm: *Why didn't Galen give the plans to Rook instead of his hologram letting people know about plans that would be next to impossible to get?* **Josh M (Joshm) on Thursday, January 26, 2017 - 1:47 pm: *I'm guessing Galen didn't have access to the full technical readout.***
3. I loved the ending, but I still think it's a nit that does not exactly match up with ANH. Not only do Antilles and Leia use the same "diplomatic mission" lie, but there are later suspect lines: Tarkin implies to Leia that the blast on Alderaan was the first one that proves the station is operational. Later after they escape, Leia says she hopes a weakness can be found in the plans. Of course in all the rush of R1, perhaps she wasn't told all the details. ***Josh M (Joshm) on Thursday, January 26, 2017 - 1:47 pm:* I believe Tarkin was referring to a demonstration of the Death Star's full power i.e. full planetary destruction.**
4. People wonder about the second Death Star. Is it possible that it is already being built? That might explain why it is operational in a few years. Also Galen helped delay the first DS. ***SeniramUK (talk) 16:34, 2 August 2022 (UTC)*Plus the builders are more familiar with the necessary procedures, and can get more work done in a set period of time.**
5. *Thomas Garrison (Tgarrison) on Sunday, January 15, 2017 - 7:52 pm:* The AT-AT's armor seemed very vulnerable to blaster fire from X-wings, compared to how they did against artillery and Snowspeeder-based weapons in The Empire Strikes Back. ***AWhite (Inblackestnight) on Tuesday, January 17, 2017 - 10:11 am:* The first time I saw the movie I noticed that as well, so I did a quick search and found that they weren't actually AT-ATs, they were AT-ACTs. Those walkers are armored Cargo transports for rough terrain; not made for direct battle and are less armored than AT-Ats.
When seeing the movie again the differences between the two became more noticeable to me: fewer weapons on the 'head', longer legs (possibly making them more vulnerable to sustained weapons fire like we see from the U-wing), bigger transport section, and the red sides were moderately-armored cargo doors.**
6. *Judibug (Judibug) on Friday, December 20, 2019 - 10:24 pm:* The Empire's case that Alderaan brought its destruction on itself by sympathizing with the Rebel Alliance is actually true From A Certain Point of View. Leia's father would surely have been executed had the Empire merely occupied Alderaan, rather than destroyed it. **Occupying Alderaan would have tied up large numbers of troops, while lacking the impact on the Galactic population that would result from the planet’s destruction.**
7. *Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Thursday, June 18, 2020 - 3:52 pm:* What is the point of having a big, strong, heavily defended door on that data repository if there's a far less secure hatch into that same repository a short distance above that big door? **The ‘less secure hatch’ could be an emergency escape door that opens outward, and can only be opened from the inside.**
8. *ScottN (Scottn) on Monday, March 08, 2021 - 11:54 pm:* Why are the antenna controls all the way out on the end of a catwalk? The Empire seems to do that a lot. **Possibly so the operator can visually check the alignment on the antenna while adjusting it.**
