Still can't remember seeing Chopper at all. So the answer is almost certainly no.

They could have done better in the lead up to this to let us know she wasn't going to be in it then

To be honest I did think I saw chopper.

As for the ghost
Spoiler: show
pretty sure you don't hear them checking in their call sign in that scene but I could be wrong. I was listening for it tho.

Star Wars Timeline

If we have Episode 1 as year 0. Episode 2 was year 10. Episode 3 was year 13. Episode 4 was year 32. Episode 5 was year 35. Episode 6 was year 36. Episode 7 was year 66.

Rogue One has scenes from year 17, but mostly from year 32 just prior to Episode 4.

Imperfect is being very kind. It has some really tedious scenes, others that are just illogical and the main plot is stolen straight from A New Hope. Not even close to A New Hope and Empire in quality.

Episodes 3 and 6 are solid efforts, but imperfect, episodes 1 and 2 are fun but deeply flawed.

Have to disagree. R1 was exactly what I thought it would be. A good war movie. Not a great Star Wars movie. It's saved by the ending and the only character you feel drawn to is the droid. No development or engaging characters.

And you can totally see that this was reshot and further, the trauma it had in editing. You can see they made the best they could of it. But still. It doesn't rank top 5 for me.
Out of eight movies, it doesn't rank in the top 5?

It's a prequel to the original Star Wars Movie: A New Hope (Episode 4). I thought that was clear.

I left the cinema about an hour ago and ran home. Put this straight in.

I can see how some would say that. It's an easier story. Simpler than the big episodes. Not so epic. Personally I think Episode 3 is a really good movie. Not a huge fan of The Force Awakens, but I see that many are.

You know I'll watch this however many times it takes until I love it. :)

Truth be told I just wanna see the final act again. It's beyond good. Somehow meshes exactly with a new hope while being totally new and thrilling.
