History WMG / RogueOne

[[WMG: Imperial shuttle pilots are shabby space truckers, not shiny soldiers, so Bodhi's ragged appearance remains unremarkable.]]
Shuttles show a lot more wear and tear than other Imperial craft, lacking the usually clean appearance of the Empire's warmachines (which constrasts with the Rebellion's battle-worn equipment). Perhaps shuttle pilots are more like space truckers than parade-ready military personnel with the newest, most intimidating looking kit. That means Bodhi's dishevelled appearance doesn't cause suspicion when he is among loyal Imperials.

With ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', it is confirmed that [[spoiler: Bail Organa had told the Alliance that Obi-Wan is dead and him and Ezra are the only persons to know the truth about the Jedi Master]]. But Mon Mothma's dialogue with [[spoiler:the Senator of Alderaan seems to indicate that she knew the truth as well about the self-exiled Jedi (she even introduces the subject to Bail)]]. A new question raises then : [[spoiler: Did she knew all along ? Or did Bail Organa entrust this secret to the former Senator of Chandrila at some point ?]] Also, by judging the above conversation, she doesn't seems to know all the details.

[[WMG: Rogue One will become what's essentially ''Francise/StarWars'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Iron Blooded Orphans]]'']]

* Alternatively, Rogue One will become ''Francise/StarWars'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamThunderbolt''

** Jossed: he plays Jyn's father and isn't a bad guy. [[spoiler: But it's confirmed that he IS an Imperial nonehteless. He was forced to work for the Empire and designed the Death Star. Meanwhile, he deliberately designed a flaw within the weapon's reactor hoping Jyn/the rebels would find it and use it to destroy the Death Star.]]

** Confirmed, both Tarkin and Vader are in it. In fact, Vader does eventually join the Battle of Scarif, capturing the rebel flagship and just barely missing the Tantive IV as it departs with with stolen plans.

Just like Korriban being renamed Moraband, what if Scarif was originally named Rakata Prime from VideoGame/StarWarsKnightsOfTheOldRepublic?

*** [[spoiler: A messenger from the Empire.]]

[[/folder]]

He might have not been accepted for training in such an intensive and demanding career because of a disability,but still has the same strength in the Force as many Jedi would.

[[WMG: Chirrut could have been a Jedi... if he hasn't been born blind.]]

[[WMG: The final shot of the film will be a recreation of ANewHope's opening shot.]]

[[WMG: "There are no Jedi here" is a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial.]]

The Miraluka are a species in the Star Wars canon that appear human, aside from their non-functioning eyes. Sometimes, it's an EyelessFace, sometimes their eyes are just blank. They see through the Force, but their abilities other than that can vary wildly. Most aren't capable of the showy telekensis or other Force abilities other than their sight (which can ignore things like walls, rain, smoke, and fog, but doesn't do well with faces if VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords is any indication) and some flashes of insight as to future events (explaining his cover as a low-rent fortuneteller). And Miraluka who leave the homeworlds were usually tied up with the Jedi in some fashion; the stronger ones as Jedi themselves (they're one of the default races for Jedi classes in VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic), but more often they took jobs as teachers, administrators, and other support staff for the Jedi (which would explain why Chirrut doesn't pack a saber, but has a Jedi-like ability to fight). Because of their inherent Sensitivity and close relationship with the Jedi, the Empire was eager to hunt them down, and those who could posed as blind humans and hid what they were for as long as possible. Miraluka are, for the most part, idealistic and faithful; since they see through the Force, they see how it connects everything and have a lot of trouble comprehending the Imperial viewpoint, anyway. Understandably, they were one of the first species to throw their lot in with the Rebellion. Chirrut being Miraluka would also account for the ImprobableAimingSkills and his ability to get around without any apparent visual aids.

** All Jossed.

* Jossed. He actually plays a new character called Cassian Andor.

* Jossed, he actually plays Director Krennic, and he doesn't like he'll defect to the good guys.

*** [[spoiler: Completely jossed. She dies by the end of the movie, which happens before A New Hope and Luke Skywalker showing up.]]

* Jossed, he plays Cassian Andor, an unrelated character.

* Jossed. While they mistrust each other at first, they quickly become FireForgedFriends. Cassian also doesn't really conform to military protocol, either.

* Jossed

* Jossed, the bacta tank is necessary to keep him alive outside of his suit due to his injuries from Film/RevengeOfTheSith.

* [[spoiler: He doesn't make a direct appearance but he is mentioned.]]

* Mara Jade,in her role as the Emperor's hand.

* That's an awfully long recovery, considering the fight with Ahsoka is at least 3 years prior.

While he was in the Imperial Archives, it was perfectly possible that he uploaded his programming into the system and then transmitted it elsewhere similar to how they transmitted the Death Star plans.
* The planetary shield is still up when he is destroyed so transmitting his programming somewhere using the giant antenna seems very unlikely.
* Alternatively, he knew how badly the odds were going in and backed himself up somewhere on Yavin before leaving.

While Jyn and Cassian are walking in the hangar, General Syndulla is called to the briefing room over the PA system. In light that WordOfGod has confirmed this is Hera and not her father, it's all too likely that Mon Mothma decided to send the ''Ghost'' to Scarif to extract the plans, given that it's the sort of mission that they specialized in on ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''. Rogue One just beat them all to the punch and left without any planing whatsoever.
