Rogue one is set right before #4 (A new hope). The crew must retrieve the plans for the death star... which are used in a new hope to destroy the death star. So all of the characters in a new hope are alive and well during rogue one.So it has nothing to do with the story line following 1234567 ? Too much bounching around. Now we are going back again to the young luke era ? I guess i'll like it just cuz its SW
