speaking of shoehorning characters into SW films, that saw guy was in there just for the super nerds, right? he was fairly pointless.

he's kind of the go-between for Jyn and her father, seeing as how her father wouldn't know where she was. Kinda convenient though that the rebels wanted to use Jyn to speak to the same person who received her father's transmission, but she's undeniably linked to him

His inclusion really drags out the start of the film. They could have just st had her on prison in Jeddah and rescued her there - maybe her estranged mentor could hav been in the alliance and sent them to rescue her

Dunno about that. It is supposed to be that he recorded all of it and tells the whole story to someone 100 years later or something

so why wasn't the general akbar type guy just akbar? that would've been a lot more fun.

akbar type guy didn't die, and it'd fit the timeline, wouldn't it?

I was thinking the same thing as I watched it but at the end his ship was captured....he couldn't have made it out unless they tacked on an escape pod scene. Too much work?

Why does Bail Organa look younger than Obi-Wan?

I honestly hadn’t even thought of this question, but the answer is so great that I had to include it. A fan asked Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter why – after the 20-year gap between Revenge Of Sith and Rogue One/A New Hope – Bail Organa still looks like Jimmy Smits but Obi-Wan Kenobi has gone from a fit-as-a-fiddle Ewan McGregor to a somewhat-frail Alec Guinness.
