I stand by my statement I want a sequel to Rogue One focusing on the Bothans stealing the plans for the second Death Star.
If Rogue One was galactic The Dirty Dozen of sorts, I want this movie to be Oceans Eleven IN SPACE. Have it be more of a heist movie than a gritty war drama.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."In the Legends EU many bothans did die after the Death Star plans were stolen even if they weren't involved.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIIRC, the Bothans didn't get the Death Star II plans, they got the information about the Senate being there.

But nope! Hats for everyone!
All bothans are spies! All Hutts are crimelords! Even though Jabba the Hutt makes as much sense as saying Capone the Human.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersTo be fair, he's only known as that to non-Hutts, and criminals being known by nothing but their nationality is an old cliche.
Though I definitely agree about how stupid the series' Planet of Hats fixation can be.

All your safe space are belong to TrumpBorsk Fey'lya will be recanonized as the Token Evil Teammate of the Death Star II Bothans.
His catchphrase will be "This is how we do it on Bothawui!" every time he betrays someone. In one scene, he will commit seventy betrayals in one second. He will lie so hard that the fabric of reality, both within and beyond the fourth wall will begin to tear.

"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."Hey, I just had a theory about the Death Star flaw.
Okay, so Galen Eros built a subtle flaw into the Death Star, and his message states that it's the thing with the reactor. He clearly didn't expect anyone to be able to use the exhaust port, but it happened anyway.
My theory is that when the Empire built the second Death Star, they removed the exhaust port, but they didn't remove the actual flaw in the design, they just scaled it up, since the second Death Star is apparently a lot bigger than the first one. The core is weirdly fragile in the Return of the Jedi so maybe the scaled up flaw meant that pretty much any damage done to the core directly was enough to destroy it.
Basically, the Empire assumed the flaw in the design was the exhaust port, not whatever Galen did to the power core.

It would be kind of hilarious if the Death Star and Death Star II had a catastrophic flaw in its exhaust that made it so, upon completion, firing the superlaser would cause a meltdown of the battlestation. Like being incomplete was what made DSII functional.

Both were fully operational and fired in the original trilogy.
All Galen did was make it so the reactors would cascade when one was damaged, the exhaust port is never brought up in Rogue One.
That flaw could have made it into 2 as well, it would be an interesting story to find out that the Empire thought it was just the port that was the problem and not the reactors themselves but the Rebels knew to go straight for them.

While its not canon (anymore) the Bothan stuff has been fairly detailed in various forms.
X-Wing Alliance is the first one that comes to mind, but I know there are more, I just love that game.
