20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
3. Hyperspace Tracking Had Been In Development For Years
Cameo star Gareth Edwards' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story offered a wonderful and ridiculously subtle clue at what was to come in The Last Jedi.
As Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor search for the Death Star plans within the Imperial data bank on Scarif, the former reels off a number of the projects the Empire had clearly been working on thirty years before the First Order spent much of The Last Jedi tracking the Resistance through hyperspace.
And surprise, surprise, Erso actually utters the name of one file that reads "hyperspace tracking", proving that the enemy had actually been working on this seemingly impossible technology for decades.
So, while some Star Wars fans may have understandably felt like this rather convenient piece of tech had bizarrely come out of nowhere in Episode VIII, it was actually hinted at during a Star Wars Story that came out a whole year earlier.
