Star Wars: Rogue One - 10 Simple Blunders That Would Ruin It

8. Bothans Appear In Any Form

"Where were the Bothans?" asked your funny mate on Twitter after watching the Rogue One trailer, earning bare retweets from similar self-proclaimed comedians and a loud groan from any Star Wars fan.

Because, obviously, it's the wrong Death Star; "many Bothans died" to get the plans for the second super weapon. You know that, I know that, and Lucasfilm hopefully know that, so would surely avoid needlessly shoving in one of the wolfmen (or whatever their new canon look is) to appease those who don't rewatch Return Of Jedi because of the ewoks (who, for the record, aren't in the film anywhere near as much as the criticisms suggest). If Rogue One is meant to be this expansion of the world, doing something that spites the canon for a quick giggle is only going to annoy die-hard fans. Save them for Rogue Two.

On a side note, while the Bothans have been regarded as the super-spies of the Rebellion in much of the Expanded Universe, surely they can't be that good; if many died to get something the Emperor wanted to be stolen they must be pretty poor at their jobs.
