We get a great look at the Death Star plans as they appear at the end of Rogue One, but I’m really interested in the prop that was seen (albeit very briefly) in A New Hope.
Obviously, the props are meant to be one and the same, but with 39 years separating the production of the two movies there are obviously some differences.
This screencap is the only time we ever see the datacard prop in ANH, but it’s enough to make out the differences between this and the one used in Rogue One:
For example, the gold part looks more hexagonal on the ANH version, and appears to go right to the edges of the card (which in turn seems thinner than the Rogue One prop.)
Anyway, that’s just me thinking aloud.
I’m looking forward to giving this prop a try (it should be a nice break from lightsabers and blasters!)
