10 Greatest Unspoken Star Wars Movie Plot Points
3. Hera Syndulla Took Part In The Battle Of Scarif - Rogue One
Easter eggs are nothing new to the world of Star Wars, though sometimes a reference that might seem throwaway to casual fans actually has far more intriguing implications for the die-hard set.
Case in point, during Rogue One's climactic Battle of Scarif, keen-eyed fans may have spotted The Ghost, the ship owned by Hera Syndulla, one of the main characters from the Star Wars: Rebels animated series.
Between this and the fact that an announcer can be heard calling the name "General Syndulla" on Yavin IV in one scene, the clear implication is that Hera took part in the Battle of Scarif.
While we only got to see a few fitful shots of the Ghost in action during the battle, it was simply neat to know that such a beloved Star Wars character was in the mix and helping out.
At the time of Rogue One's release this Easter egg was a bit of a double-edged sword, though, as it effectively left Hera's fate hanging in the balance.
Thankfully, though, Rebels' final episode ultimately revealed that Hera went on to fight in the Battle of Endor, confirming her survival at Scarif.
