20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi

10. A Flagship Cruiser Named After A Rogue One Admiral

And while on the subject of the ship that helped take down Supreme Leader Snoke's flagship and a bunch of other First Order Star Destroyers, you possibly may not have clocked the fact that this Resistance cruiser was actually named after another rather heroic Rebel.

Remember when the Rebel Alliance collided with the Empire over Scarif in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story?

Well, that Mon Calamari Admiral who received the Death Star plans from the likes of Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor before his own Profundity cruiser was destroyed actually went by the name of Raddus.

So, with fellow Mon Calamari legend Gial Ackbar feeling it would be a great way to honour the Rebel leader who sacrificed himself for the cause (via StarWars.com), the call was eventually made to name one of the New Republic's cruisers after the valiant Admiral when the Resistance began using it.
