After watching Rogue One again last night, the timeline for Threepio and Artoo really doesn't work... at least in the way I thought this all worked.
They're shown on the Yavin IV base after General Raddus' Profundity had already returned to his ship... to fight. The Tantive IV should already be docked on the Profundity. Since the capital ship is already en route to the battle where we see it docked when we see it at the end of the battle. If Rogue One ends where ANH begins, there's no real way the droids could be on the Tantive IV.
I guess an argument could be made that immediately after we saw 3PO and R2, they were whisked onto the Tantive IV and it docked with the Profundity just before it left for Scariff. That doesn't seem very likely... it does look like the Tantive IV is already in the Profundity's belly as it arrives to battle.
......but was the Profundity even on Yavin IV?....it's a huge starship with a large ventral mast beneath it.,....it may have been left in orbit......Raddus perhaps had to shuttle to the ship.....the same as Tantive IV crew/passengers would have to to if Leia's ship was docked on the Profundity at Yavin
Senator!
Senator.
Stop right there, Private.
Let him speak.
Intercepted Imperial transmission, ma'am.
Rebels on Scarif.
I need to speak to Admiral Raddus
He's returned to his ship
He's gone to fight.
Also.....the ships all arrived at Scariff on the same jump.....& as we saw in Return of the Jedi, the ships all get into position & jump in formation
The thing that I've read is that the Tantive IV was docked in the Profundity for repairs,.....I don't know how official that is,....but just say it isn't
Vader arrives in the Devastator just as the fleet were jumping away from Scarif,.....It proceeds to destroy Rebel crafts.....an Imperial officer (who looks a bit like Jeremy Bulloch) informs Vader that the Rebel Flagship is disabled but has received transmissions from the surface,...Vader orders the Officer to prepare a boarding party,.....
Perhaps Leia's Blockage runner docked with the ship to aid crew & retrieve the DS plans before Vader's boarding party arrived.....
