History Funny / RogueOne

* Standing in between Diego Luna's Cassian and the hulking droid Kaytoo, Jyn (played by 5'3" Felicity Jones) looks positively tiny since both of her comrades [[OneHeadTaller tower over her.]] It's kind of adorable how small she is compared to them.

--->'''Diego''': (mock-disappointed) "Awwww."

* In the making of features, Alan Tudyk expressing disgust [[http://i2.wp.com/www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/rogueone-setphoto-garethedwards-alantudyk-beach.jpg?resize=366%2C244 at the paper K-2 face affixated above his head for]] [[ScullyBox height reference]].. followed by him and Diego Luna mocking the thing on-set ("It's like we were doing a science fiction movie done in primary school." "I have no respect [while] wearing this thing!")

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HRiRy-gooo In a publicity video from WIRED]], some of the cast members answer questions about the film from the most popular Google searches. When they get to "Does Rogue One die?", Riz Ahhmed (Bodhi) ''bursts into uproarious laughter'' at the question, knowing full well that they do. '' All of them.''

* On the subject of the Deat Star

--->'''K-2SO:''' Congratulations: you are being rescued. Please do not resist.

** When Jyn is beating up an entire squad of stormtroopers single-handedly, Cassian lowers his blaster and [[InLoveWithYourCarnage looks majorly turned on.]]

** 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.

*** [[spoiler:[[FunnyAneurysmMoment Becomes considerably less hilarious in context]] considering what ultimately happens [[KilledOffForReal to the members of Rogue One]]]].

* While searching through Jedha, Jyn happens to bump into [[spoiler:Dr. Evazan and his friend Pondo Baba, the guy who'll soon be getting his arm cut off by Obi-Wan at Mos Eisley.]]
* The cameo from [[spoiler:C-3PO and R2, grousing that none of the rebels ever tell them anything.]]
* It's BlackComedy at best, but [[spoiler:as the Rebel fleet is jumping into hyperspace to escape Scarif, Vader's Star Destroyer suddenly drops ''out'' of hyperspace, and several ships crash into it, bouncing off in pieces without doing any damage themselves.]]
* Another moment of BlackComedy during the [[spoiler: test firing of the Death Star on Jedha]] is Tarkin's mild, "We want to make a statement, not a manifesto." when questioned about whether they were going to try to destroy the whole planet.
* At the end we see [[spoiler: Princess Leia escaping from Vader and Scarif with the Death Star plans, [[Film/ANewHope making her whole "Plans, what plans? I'm just on a diplomatic mission!" gambit]] [[HilariousInHindsight and Vader refusing to have any of her shit at the beginning of A New Hope HILARIOUS.]]]]
** The levels of [[spoiler:audacity shown by Leia here is ridiculous, but it's even better from Vader's point of view. From his point of view, he watches the assault on Scarif, watches the plans transfer onto the Tantive IV, watches as the ship ''fires at him'' and then gets attacked the second he walks onboard. Leia, knowing ''all'' of this, attempts to boldfacedly lie to him. It makes Vader's uncharacteristic anger come off as complete disbelief somebody would lie to him ''this badly.'']]

** From this same scene as the three of them are standing there [[spoiler:in their Imperial disguises]]:

-->'''Vader''': Its power to create problems has certainly been confirmed.

** The context behind that scene makes it even funnier; the reason why Vader finds Krennic so annoying is that Krennic flew all the way to Mustafar, forced Vader to get out of his bacta tank and get dressed... ''to whine about a coworker''. It's a testament to how important he is that Vader didn't feed him a lightsaber right then and there.

*** [[CardCarryingVillain But then the Empire shoots it with the Death Star.]] This is why we can't have Tropical Beach Planets, guys.

*** Plus, it's the planet where he believes he murdered his wife and unborn baby. He just doing it for drama at this point.

* Baze fires a rocket-propelled grenade at the front of an AT-ACT, seemingly stopping it from continuing its advance... [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome only for the super-protected vehicle to adjust course after a few seconds]], aiming straight at Baze. Cue an OhCrap from the Rebels [[TheCavalry before an X-wing blasts that AT-ACT]].

** The context behind that scene makes it even funnier; the reason why Vader finds Krennic so annoying is that Krennic flew all the way to Mustafar, forced Vader to drain his own bacta tank and get dressed... ''to whine about a coworker''. It's a testament to how important he is that Vader didn't feed him a lightsaber right then and there.

'''K-2SO:''' You're letting her ''keep'' it? [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Do you want know the odds of her using it on you?]] [''pause''] It's high.\\

** Krennic forgets one ''very important'' thing -- Darth Vader can ''read'' his mind; he's probably hearing Krennic talk about him, and, more importantly, his ''deceased wife'' who is the one thing he ''does'' still love. No wonder Vader decides he's worth choking.

* Before the film was released, a couple of online hate-groups declared that they would boycott the film for having a cast with a female lead and rebels played by non-white actors. The film is now the second highest North American December opening on record... and the members of these groups are actually declaring the film [[BlatantLies a failure]] [[SpringtimeForHitler due to their online complaining]] [[InsaneTrollLogic just because it isn't the most financially successful film in history]], and that it didn't make as much money as ''The Force Awakens''. While producers totally expected the film to do less than ''TFA'' due to its different nature.[[note]]Just for comparison, ''The Force Awakens'' earned $247.9m in its domestic opening weekend. ''Rogue One'', a relatively untested property whose characters were not meant to return and didn't benefit of a marketing effort as gigantic as ''The Force Awakens'' (aka "Star Wars is back!"), earned $155m. While this may look like a decline, 2016 featured movies such as ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' and ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', which earned $179.1m and $166.1m respectively. These movies featured the most popular comic book heroes and boasted {{All Star Cast}}s, and ''Rogue One'', with its less-famous cast and non-white male leads had the ''third largest debut'' for 2016.[[/note]]

* [[spoiler: Krennic's death. Does the Death Star fire into the tower at the center of the battle, cutting the transmission as short as possible? Does it heck. The shot lands miles away, allowing our heroes their moment...and making sure Krennic is the first casualty of the Death Star under Tarkin.]]
