** During the intense fight scene on Jedha, Jyn finishes off her beatdown of a bunch of stormtroopers by spinning and reflexively shooting a KX unit. It shorts out, falls over, Jyn makes an "OhCrap" face... then the ''friendly'' K2 comes around a corner, confusedly looks at its counterpart, and says this:

** K-2SO catches a live grenade thrown by a stormtrooper ''with one hand'' and then [[OffhandBackhand casually throws it behind himself]] at another group of Stormtroopers. Made funnier because Jyn can be heard cutting off her cry to get rid of it because K2 is still holding it while talking to them. To make it even funnier, K2 tosses it at the stormtroopers behind him right as one of them says "Hold it right there!"

When asked why he's there, K-2 replies that [[SkewedPriorities he was bored first and they were in danger second]], and having just saved them with the grenade, snarks that he should have just stayed on the ship.

** When Cassian is having trouble using a hand scanner with an unconscious Imperial soldier's left hand, K-2 impatiently barks "''RIGHT'' hand!" It works.

* When Krennic arrives on Scarif, ego still bruised from his dressing-down by Vader, he demands to see every communication Galen Erso made while stationed there. The Imperial officer in command turns white and stammers, "''All'' of them?!". He was probably secretly grateful when the Rebels attacked seconds later.

** It's also ironic that Krennic, who is himself a [[SolderisAtTheRear REMF]], is the first to tell dozens of officers what to do, because (in the lore) the base was supposed to be a cushy detail and they let standards slip.

* The first seconds of the movie are actually pretty funny for lifelong fans of the series. Why? At first, ''Rogue One'' seems to follow established ''Franchise/StarWars'' tradition, with those immortal opening words ''"A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away..."'' slowly fading into view as the movie begins. But then, just when we're all expecting the classic bombastic Creator/JohnWilliams fanfare to fill the theater as the famous OpeningScroll introduces the plot...we get [[ScareChord a single screeching string chord]] as the movie cuts straight to the opening scene with nary a word of exposition. It's like the filmmakers wanted to say ''"That's all the introduction you get. Now just watch the freakin' movie."''

** As a follow up, when Chirrut uses a stormtrooper as a human shield, another stormtrooper recklessly fires at Chirrut and hits his own comrade... about eight or nine times. ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy at its finest. Made even funnier because it looks like during the course of the shooting that poor sap got hit several times in the ''groin.'' Chirrut also made sure to stab a nearby trooper in the foot for good measure, eliciting an audible groan of pain:

** Jyn is wearing a rather intimidating black Imperial uniform with visored helmet. But the effect is somewhat ruined with her being about a foot shorter than everyone else - and then the visor opening to reveal Felicity Jones' long-lashed big soft eyes.

** Jyn explains that she has no problem at all with K2 getting shot - but she's rather more concerned that if they miss (being, well, Stormtroopers), they might hit ''her'' instead. K2, for his part, really doesn't see that as problematic.
