Chopper knows you can go anywhere with a serious expression and a clipboard.

It could, conceivably, be Hera’s father being paged, now that he’s had his come-to-space-Jesus talk about contributing to the rebellion at large.

There is about a 100% chance that there will be (at the very least) a Chirrut and Baze novel.

The props started out life as radiation dosimeters, but they’ve been rationalized in-universe as “code tubes”—sort of command keys to access restricted consoles.

I expected them all to be dead since they first showed the cast photo. I was expecting The Dirty Dozen In Space, and that’s what I got.

He’s the Dark Lord of the Sick Burns.

It’s a vent, not a radiator. Some cooling medium--liquid, gas, or whatever— is being vented.

Mapping small variations in current, salinity, and temperature is not sexy, but useful for predicting sonar performance. They’re designed to be left unattended for months and then abandoned to sink, so there’s not a lot of super-hi-tech-bleeding-edge stuff on board.
Seizing one of these is about giving us the finger,…

You leave Twi’lek Mackenzie Crook alone!

I’ll go on maintaining that the Death Star is necessary overkill once the prevalence of planetary force screens is taken into account.

Point of order: Armistice cuts off her arm, but doesn’t escape.

Given the energies involved, starships should pretty much be vaporized the instant shields go down anyway--making configuration questions moot.

He was the only one who managed to get killed by turbolaser fire instead of defending TIEs.

I think the in-canon reason was that warp fields are bad for living things, IIRC.

Porkins’ death wasn’t heroic self-sacrifice, though—it was bad judgement and failure to listen to advice from comrades.
