It's not really that complicated. It's just one of those stupid movie moments where someone didn't do something they should/could have because it would have ruined the plot. Obviously Vader wasn't going to get the plans because it wouldn't fit with the story. But it's stupid because he should have been able to
Thats a good point plus vader getting his hands on the plans means no hope for rebellion and luke does not get to blow up the death star in ANH
its simple
It did yes, instead of the plans being in a single location, it was split into pieces in several locations which was then transmitted to Polis Massa and the Tantive IV, which then a copy of the plans they had was transmitted to the Tantive IV while 501st had secured the original plans, an actual transmission mind you, not some dumb hard physical data piece. Which then the whole opening scene happened with ANH.

I only recall the one, but better than having all of your eggs in one basket and having the advantage, only for it to be taken away anyhow. At least before, the plans were broken up and sent out separate and different locations before coming together, so it'd be rather difficult to get.
"Don't act so surprised, your highness; you weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmission were beamed to this ship by rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you."
Remember when it was that simple? When it seemed like Vader was some clever enforcer who knew how to suss out a problem? And how the contemptuous familiarity between Vader and Leia made it seem like they've met before and had been playing this game a while, but this time he finally caught her red-handed?
Nah f*ck that! We need an entire, over-complicated movie about this!

We're gonna get an entire Forest Whitaker spin-off. And an Andor spin off. And... huh. I've already forgotten all the other new characters in the film. I'm not even 100% sure his name is Andor.
F*ck I'm already fatigued from these things.

That is good point. But still, I agree with Lucien. For some reason they find it necessary to continuously fiddle with the stories we know. Instead of working on NEW movies, NEW content, NEW adventures.
That is what SW once was: NEW, GROUNDBREAKING... It's not been that way since ROTJ.
