The Death Star graphics though is something I’m worried about. It was a simple mistake in the original. Rogue One using the same graphics was their way of fixing the mistake - same as adywan in ANHR - by making it seem like it was intentional. But it still makes little sense, and requires a bullshit explanation outside of the film to explain why it’s that way (the hard drive has every version of the plans I guess?). Even with that silly explanation, it doesn’t make any sense at all for the Rebels to be using and showing out of date plans when they’re planning their attack. I think you can still keep continuity with RO and still fix the plans (in RO we see early versions of the plans and in ANH we see the current plans). To use the old graphics for the briefing scene is a huge misstep, I think.
^^ This.
The updated graphic in the briefing room looks immensely better than the cheesy 70’s original, and much better illustrates the Rebels attack plan.
However, I have an idea for mostly keeping both.
If the graphic seen in Rogue One can be considered a “thumbnail” image and the ANH graphics the actual technical readouts, the two could be reconciled by just moving the firing dish above the equator in the Rogue One graphic. The graphics in ANH could be recoloured back to blue to keep the association with the Rogue One plans, while distancing them a bit from the (I assume preliminary) plans received on Geonosis in AOTC.
