say what you like about Rogue One but it definitely makes the line in A New Hope about Leia’s ship being on a diplomatic mission x10 funnier given Vader watched the ship fly away from Scarif with his own 2 eyes
dude arrives at the end of a space battle, fights through like 20 of her staff to get to the ship, chases it across the galaxy, finally corners it in a furious firefight, kills the remainder of her staff, and she has the AUDACITY to still stand there like "I don't know what you're talking about!"
“You were not on any mercy mission this time.”
Seems like she’d used it before, but this time was caught red-handed.
Such amazing continuity in movies nearly 40 years apart brought to you by the same studio that did the sequels.
