Well, just remember that “close” is quite relative when dealing with a map that covers an entire galaxy.
Yeah, I get that. It is just further shrinks the Star Wars galaxy. I understand the need to have Scarif near Tatooine in order for the events of ANH to kick off.
I’m beginning to wonder if Disney has in mind an update Special Edition that fixes the 90’s special effects added and increases the amount of starfighters/Imperial fighters scattered throughout ANH. Especially with how much Disney is trying to tie-in all their other materials (Clone Wars/Rebels/etc.)
Will be interesting to see how they clean it all up at the end of Rogue One.
