On the other side of it, RO is obviously stretching the bounds of what could technically have happened with the dialogue from ANH in mind. But you know what? Who cares.
It’s not a dealbreaker and doesn’t ‘ruin’ either movie, but it does bug me that the fix would be so simple - just have the Tantive waiting on the edge of the battle somewhere, with the Profundity re-transmitting the plans as Vader fights his way to its comm center.
Yeah but the way they did it is more cinematically engaging.
