Info Wanted: TFA / Rogue One - Changes from Theatrical to Home Video Versions?

I’m looking for a list of differences, audio and visual, between the theatrical version of The Force Awakens and the Blu-Ray/DVD version as well as a similar list of differences between Rogue One’s theatrical and Blu-Ray/DVD versions. Could anyone give me or point me to such a list? I’ve sifted through a few pages of old threads here on this forum, but I haven’t encountered anything definitive other than a few unsubstantiated claims about The Force Awakens. Among the purported differences I’ve seen are

  • BB-8 making a bleep-bloop sound in his closeup shot during Rey and Finn’s escape from Jakku
  • a difference in the flags in the establishing shot of Maz Kanata’s bar on Takodana
  • the female alien spy in the bar whispering audibly instead of silently
  • a different credits sequence wherein the music is different (I’ve heard something about the Oscar consideration soundtrack) and the credits sequence is extended by three minutes

I haven’t read about any such differences for Rogue One.

Can anyone confirm or deny that such changes exist, along with any others I may not have heard about? Can anyone tell me where to obtain a copy of the theatrical versions of both films? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
GOOOOOOO DAWGS! SIC 'EM! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!

The flag difference was between an early/preview render of the scene vs. the final scene, rather than theatrical vs. home video (assuming no one later found some sort of more subtle difference).
