To that I would say that Star Wars already had a story that involved that very premise back in the 1900s, but it's thrown off the canon wagon.
 
Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

What's wrong with Luke's rank? There were three years between ANH and ESB. If he got brought in as a 1st Lieutenant equivalent (typical for a flight officer), that's plenty of time -- if he's as awesome as he's supposed to be -- for him to be promoted three times to Lt. Col. and CAG of Rogue Group.

With Han and Lando, I maintain that it was "promotion of necessity". Lando was the previous owner of the Falcon and a good pilot and, most important for the assault, volunteered to lead the starfighter wing. That kind of position tends to require a particular rank, ergo... *holds out hands* Same with Han, maybe less so. He was already a (naval) Captain with the Rebellion. One step up (and one branch over) is the lowest General rank. With both of them as O-7s due to the roles they're playing, I see no reason why anyone would get butthurt. And depending on what they might be called on to do after that battle, they may or may not have kept those ranks, or even stayed on as members of the Alliance military at all. We won't know for another month or so.

3 years? I thought there was a year between ANH and ESB and about a year between ESB and ROTJ. Did I imagine this?
 
Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

Three years between ANH and ESB. ROTJ is another year further on, but how long after ESB is muddied by the fact that we don't know how long the trip to Bespin/Luke training on Dagobah took.

Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

I don't remember the number of years there were, but that was also the old canon. That could change in a single sentence of a new canon novel, comic, etc.
 
Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

No, it's the official timeline from Lucasfilm and the Star Wars Databank. The old EU had closer to four years between ANH and ESB and about a year and a half between ESB and ROTJ. That's gotten trimmed down some since the Prequels and they've stuck with that since. That's straight Story Group decree.

No, as IP said above, it's firmly in the new canon.
 
Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

Someone draw a map of the CANON timeline...with Death Star explosions representing everyone's destroyed EU canon...
 
Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

Not that I don't believe you guys (seriously Bry, you gotta relax) where does this information come from? I've read pretty much everything in and about the new canon and have not come across that information.

What?! I was just verifying what IP said! :) I'm calm, damn it! It's in the new canon books as well.

I just checked, the books list the canon content in chronological order but not the dates.
 
Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

I know the original SW movie novelization by Georgia Lucas/Alan Dean Foster stated that Luke was about 20 at the time of ANH and the ESB novel by Donald F. Glut specifically stated he was 23 at the beginning of ESB.

Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

That's me too and I'm baffled why I was under that impression. To me, it certainly doesn't feel like 3 years took place between ANH and ESB but I guess that's subjective.

I thought only a year passed between ANH and ESB, then a year between ESB and ROTJ. Guess I'm wrong.

Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

Leland Chee Tweeted the timeline a while back, starting with Episode I as the zero point: "0 10 10-13 13 27 32 35 36". In case, it's not clear, the rest are, left-to-right, Episode II, Clone Wars, Episode III, Rebels, Episode IV, Episode V, and Episode VI.

Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

This sounds right with the advent of the prequels. It puts Vader at about 45 when he dies.
 
Re: Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

Looks neat! Be curious to get a closer look to see if they got the stormtroopers "right". I know that they're probably doing it for budgetary reasons by recycling the TFA landing craft, but I am a bit disappointed to see they aren't going with the OT-era Sentinel-type landing craft we'd seen before. They were definitely canon due to their presence in ANH: SE.
