An ad for The Last Jedi came on during the world series game and I had to explain the timeline to dad so he’d understand that Rogue One is way before TFA, Rey isn’t Jyn, and Poe isn’t Cassian.
Why did this actually need to be explained?
I’ve talked to several people who weren’t clear on where Rogue One was supposed was supposed to be in the timeline. When I explain that it’s right before Star Wars, they say “oh yeah, ‘Many Bothans died to bring us this information.’” “No… That quote is from Return of the Jedi.” “Oh.”
Seriously, both my parents and my wife’s uncle misplaced that quote.
