Spoilers The Controversial Star Wars Opinion Thread

he was trying to get the physical plans, which R1 established were not "beamed" to the blockade runner--a specific detail that was part of Vader's line from Star Wars.

ANH doesn't say the plans were beamed to the ship. It's heavily implied but that's not what the dialogue actually says. "You weren't on any mercy mission this time" goes with "several transmissions were beamed to this ship by rebel spies" and that's how Vader knows this particular blockade runner is working with the rebellion. They had to track them down somehow. "I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you" can be a separate statement.
 
Well there we go, that's an easy enough way to keep A New Hope and Rogue One completely (or at least completelyish) consistent.
He's on the left side of the scene where the comms officer runs out to tell Mon Mothma about the attack on Scarif. If you listen carefully you can also hear some of his vocalizations in the background audio

Also interesting tidbit, if you look closely at the Ghost, it's missing the Phantom/II in it's docking slot.
I don't believe it's ever been confirmed why.
I've speculated they didn't want to spoil the existence of the Phantom II, or they hadn't decided on what design it would be when they gave the Ghost model over to ILM to up detail.

The episode where they acquire the Phantom II aired 2 months before the movie released.
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for him next time I watch it.
I never noticed that about the Ghost, that is interesting.
 
I've got a pair of actually controversial opinions:
1. I love the character of Jar Jar, and always have

2. The episode "Bombad Jedi" is one of the best episodes in the entirety of the The Clone Wars animated,series
