Star Wars: Rogue One
BenRG:
@Case,
(click to show/hide)'Rogue One' is the fraudulent mission call sign that Bode makes up on the spot to get their stolen Imperial light freighter past Yavin Base's traffic controllers.
FWIW, I'm looking forward to seeing some reverse continuity with Rebels. Maybe we'll start seeing U-Wing gunships turning up at Phoenix Base?
Neko_Ali:
It probably will, somewhat. In the last Rebels Recon they said they are going on winter break, and since people will have seen Rogue One by then, things that happened there will have some effect on the show. My guess is we might have a guest appearance by Saw Gerrera. He originated in The Clone Wars cartoon, and they love bringing characters from there into Rebels. The crew of the Ghost already had a brush with the construction of the Death Star over Geonosis, so there might be more details filled in about that. Rebels takes place a few years before the completion of the Death Star and the events of Rogue One and A New Hope though, so I'm not sure how much direct connection to the cast they may have. Maybe Cassian and K2 will show up.
BenRG:
(click to show/hide)The Ghost and Chopper are seen in Rogue One and someone calls for either Hera or her father over the PA in the Rebel base towards the end of the movie.
More Denial:
(click to show/hide)Until explicitly confirmed otherwise, my headcanon is that Jyn's kyber crystal necklace, combined with some latent Force sensitivity, did something weird with the energy of the superlaser detonation blast-wave and gave Jyn and Cassio just enough protection from the blast to survive. In response to a 'gut feeling' from Ezra or Kanan, the Ghost sneaks back and rescues their toasted-but-alive bodies from the remains of the beach on Skarrif.

Seriously, if you haven't seen the film, do not read this. (click to show/hide)Sadly, Star Wars is a franchise that isn't afraid to brutally kill or maim main characters. The "gut feelings" of Force Sensitive people can be a reaction to a great loss, for example Alderaan's destruction and Obi Wan reaction. Sometimes the heroes die, but they die for something more than themselves.

(click to show/hide)Bode? Do you mean Bodhi? (Sorry, haven't seen the flick yet, and hence wasn't sure whether you were referring to a R1-character, or an EU-character)
Apparently, R1 also explains the 'deep mystery' behind Luke's 'Red 5'-callsign
--- Quote ---In addition to surprise appearances from very familar characters from the past of Star Wars, Rogue One also explains a very big detail in the life of Luke Skywalker. Specifically, we learn why the Rebel Alliance needed him to fly in the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope.

Don't panic - we still have Red 5!
Urrrrh - Cpt. Needa ... maybe the Captain forgot that Red 5's ticket got punched last Wednesday?
Ensign Wrublslig - are you telling me that a giant, planet-destroying space-station is headed our way and we don't have anyone flying with the Red-5 callsign?
Sir .... Uhmmmh ... Yes, Sir ?!?
ZOMG! We're all doomed! WOOOOOOOOOP WOOP WOOP!"

Man, I've been loosing sleep over that one since '78! Glad we finally seem to be getting some truth on the callsign-front ... :wink:
