I'm just going to put all of this in a spoiler so hopefully Binder Fred can pass over it. [sblock]I enjoyed it and thought it held up pretty well, although I think having some things already spoiled doesn't help the narrative (Cassian's ruthlessness at the beginning is a very different take on the Rebellion than we've seen before).My biggest gripe is still what I consider a plot hole. When did the Tantive IV get onto the Perfundity, Admiral Raddus' flagship? More importantly, and I think the biggest problem, how/when did R2-D2 and C-3PO get on it? Now that I've seen it a second time, I believe the stream of events and scenes are as follows:1) Rebel pow-wow where Rebel Command decides not to attempt getting the Death Star plans.2) Mon Mothma and Bail Organa discuss seeking Obi-Wan Kenobi's help. Bail implies he is sending Leia.3) Rebel Command intercepts a transmission from the Citadel planet about a rebel attack. We learn that Admiral Raddus is already on the way there.Apparently, the novelization states that between the pow-wow and the intercepted radio transmission, Leia is heading to Tatooine to pick up Kenobi in the Tantive IV, which ends up having mechanical problems. Admiral Raddus meets up with her and loads the Tantive IV into the Perfundity for repairs intending to continue the trip to Tatooine. It's at that point they intercept the transmission about the attempt at the Death Star plans and decide that is more important.OK, fine, I guess that works.To me, that doesn't explain the scene where R2-D2 and C-3PO are watching all of the action on Yavin IV when the rest of the rebel fleet is scrambling to reinforce Admiral Raddus, who is already on the way to Scarif and presumably already has the Tantive IV in the hold of the Perfundity. I mean, those droids are definitely on the Tantive IV at the beginning of a New Hope. I doubt someone would have shuttled them over in mid-battle.Maybe a small nitpick, but it bothered me.Also, why so many GR-75 Medium Transports? Those are transports for personnel and the Alliance clearly didn't deploy that many reinforcements.[/sblock]</blockquote>
