A very minor tweak is required for 100% Line up of Rogue One and Star Wars (A new Hope)
“Several Transmissions were Beamed aboard this ship, I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you?” Original
“Several Transmissions were Beamed aboard a ship, I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you?” Fixed
I feel like this would be a futile ‘fix’… In RO, There was no way for Vader to know for sure which ship received the transmissions (for all he knows, they ALL could’ve gotten it), but after watching the Tantive escape so frantically/deperately, it makes sense he’d assume that was the ship that received them. This would explain the line when he catches up to them in ANH.
Moving on, does anybody else feel like a movie in between ROTS and RO would be a great spot on the timeline for a Vader movie? Possibly show him hunting down the last of the Jedi (alla The Force Unleashed) - also a good opportunity to bring back Palpatine for continuity. I quite like that RO didn’t show the Emperor, as I feel it preserves his ambiguity in ANH… but the Vader movie as a standalone would certainly need some direct “Imperial guidance” at some point for sure. This is the only spot on the timeline I can think of to make a Vader movie happen and it could be great.
Lastly, and I’m 3/4 joking when I say this… Vader’s servant on Mustafar… Secret Apprentice Snoke?? lol
I heard a decent explanation the other day wherein Vader didn’t know there was a physical copy of the plans.
Remember, he says “several transmissions were beamed aboard this ship,” we know that’s not true because we see they get beamed to the flagship and downloaded to the datacard and then physically brought to the Tantive IV by troopers, but Vader clearly doesn’t realize this as he’s slaughtering the Rebels in the hallway either because he can’t see the datacard or because, let’s face it, the man has anger issues and tends to fly off the handle and go into a murderous rage that he can’t control, and he was so absorbed that all he could feel was the fear and not the reason for it.
In ANH the stormtrooper captain says “the Death Star plans are not in the main computer,” Vader assumed the plans were beamed to the Tantive IV and thus in the computer, when it was really the flagship they were beamed to. That’s when he realizes they may be hidden physically on the ship (“commander tear this ship apart until you’ve found those plans”) and explains why they weren’t so bothered about the empty escape pod leaving the ship.
Leia and Captain Antilles’ lying is nothing more than the delay tactics that any good spy would do until the bitter end. Deny deny deny. Even when you’re caught dead to rights.
Also, Vader’s servant as Snoke might actually be alright with me. =P
