20 Things You Somehow Missed In Avatar

3. Trudy's Callsign Is "Rogue One"

This is likely more an amusing coincidence than anything, but it's still something you absolutely wouldn't have even considered when Avatar was first released back in 2009.

Trudy (Michelle Rodriguez) makes several mentions to her aircraft's callsign being "Rogue One," which is slightly odd given that the Star Wars prequel Rogue One was released a whole seven years later.

Again, it seems most probable that Avatar and Rogue One both developed the monikers independently, rather than Rogue One making a nod to a minor Avatar plot point, but it's still strange to observe in retrospect.

Though given that Avatar is set in the mid-22nd century, we can just freely assume that Trudy is a big fan of the Star Wars movie, right?
