I'm positive we'll get a reference. I have a feeling someone we see in the movie will end up telling us that they going to meet Leia at Alderaan, expecting the plans and Obi-Wan to meet them there. That won't end good for that person. At the risk of being branded a nerd, Obi-wan has no idea what's going on and shouldn't be in anyone's thought processes other than Leia. I can see someone initiating a video call to Leia's ship and then sending the plans. Other New Hope quotes worth remembering going into this. The opening crawl talks about the Rebels striking from a secret base for their first victory just prior to the movie, so this movie should go well for some people, likely the x-wing pilots we've seen in the trailers. Vader also says that "there will be no one to stop us this time" when ordering the recovery of the escape pod, suggesting there was someone before, and that things did not go well for those people.

I'm guessing he knows that she's heading to Tatooine to pick up Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he knows that she's heading to Tatooine to pick up Ben. That's no spoiler. It's stated in the original movie that she's on a mission to get him. Now, from canon books we know Bail keeps his knowledge of the surviving Jedi (like Ahsoka) close to his vest. Very few people can be trusted to know that Ben is alive. While they are heading to Tattooine to pick up Ben, I doubt most on the ship know who he is. They were probably told that they were picking up an old ally who can help and not much more. Interestingly, in Leia's message to Obi-wan, she never refers to him as a Jedi Knight. It's quite possible that she wasn't even told what he is. Given that we know Jimmy Smits has a cameo as Bail, I could see him receiving the plans and then sending them to Leia's ship so that they are not found in his possession en route to Alderaan or something.

What's that ship to the left from the star destroyer, above the X-Wing? EDIT: here's a video of the (brief) scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ship is in the rebels convoy. Also, it looks like the Phantom is not docked on the Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Would be cool if there is a request from the rebel blockade runner for the ghost to cover her so that they can escape with the plans and then there's a message from the ghost acknowledging the request 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 My predictions/hopes:1. That's the Ghost. 2. We will hear Hera on the comms saying something about "Ghost standing by"3. We will see Chopper (either in the background or interacting with someone)4. We will hear "Phoenix Squadron"5. We will see Thrawn in the background in one scene. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While ignoring the lingering question of why there is a green space bunny. I swear that's why Marvel didn't get the license in the 90s.

I think there needs to be a delicate balance of how they put them in the film verse and seeing the Ghost like that is the perfect nod for fans and references to them is fine and maybe seeing chopper would be cool but I don't think that we need to hear anyone's voices such as Hera's. If you wanna see that much of the crew you should actually catch up on the show you slacker lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hearing Hera's voice over comms is no intrusion or big effort on Disney's part. I'm sure we will hear all sorts of comms chatter. To those not in the know she would be indistinguishable from the rest of the noise. Think of all the short cut aways we see in Star Wars movies during battle scenes. The guy who says "Our first catch of the day" in Empire. "You rebel scum". You could easily do a quickie like that and instead of generic rebel pilot we see Hera. Instead of generic Imp officer we see Thrawn. Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for thrawn since he has a well established fan following including myself but for some reason I just think it would be cheesy to see them on screen or to hear them with the exception of chopper. I don't think that we'll see Thrawn though because I still strongly believe that Benicio will play him in ep8 next year.
