So who's seen Rogue One?

It was just Leia being sassy as Beni says.

No?....Are you not looking/hearing Vader's dialogue?

Get out Zen...

Who was it that beamed the plans to the ship? Jyn and Cassian the "Rebel Spies". And while they weren't technically beamed to the Tantive they were beamed to the ship it was docked to so it comes out to basically the same thing.

It was beamed aboard the ship Leia was attached to, so its kind of minutiae, as for the Rebel spies, in the opening crawl its stated that said spies stole plans to the Death Star during a battle, and indeed, in Rogue One they stole that information by infiltrating a secret Imperial base, that's spy work yeah.

The dialogue seems suggesting, that the plans were directly beamed to Leia's ship though...and several transmissions which seemed to be 1 transmission, not several.

I wouldn't call Jyn or Cassian spies though, at the very best loosely they could be considered spies...but I guess that's fine.

The main heist Vader is aware of is the plans being beamed from the surface of the planet to the Rebels, who intercepted it, the fact that these plans were they put onto a datafile and handed over to a smaller vessel within that ship is a minute detail that Vader may either not be aware of, or simply not prioritise. He's looking for the plans that the Rebels intercepted over Scarif, hence why he asks the question.

And from Vader's perspective they are spies, he doesn't know there personal background.

Sure, but now we know it was not technically sent to the Tantive IV but rather the ship it was docked too. But like I said it comes out to the same thing.

As for "several transmissions", that can be hand-waved by the plans being sent in several packets similar to how data is transferred nowadays.

Edit: Fair enough Ares.

Oops, double posted.

Don't get me wrong, it's sloppy. But this a problem with almost all prequels.

Yeah, it was worth it for that final scene tho.

Also, another dialogue that sounds wrong now is when in ANH Mothma says " Many Bothan died to deliver us these plans", or something similar ( don't know the exact sentence in the english dub), however in this movie we don't get to see a single Bothan 😄

That was ROTJ and it was the second Death Star.

Tbh I don't get how people get confused with that. We know there's a 2nd DS being built, and Mothma says Bothans got a hold of that information, the first DS is irrelevant as it was destroyed in ANH..and Mothma's line was in ROTJ....she wasn't in ANH.

How people get confused here is beyond me. The only way people get confused, is if they really, really, REALLY paid 0 attention whatsoever. Which I find extremely hard to believe, you'd have to not even seen the movies then..

It's mostly casual fans/audiences who get confused. Because they've seen the OT and remember that line, but don't remember exactly which part of which film that line came from.

Although I do find it odd everyone seems to remember that line from Mon Mothma.

Ehh...they must be really casual fans/audience people then.
