Star Wars: Rogue One - 11 Things You Might've Missed In The Official Trailer

3. Jyn Doesn't Have The Plans

A scene likely to be pored over many times, and not just because of how great it is. At face value it's pretty simple: Jyn, on what appears to be Scarif, stares down a TIE Fighter in a real display of bravery and badassery.

Then again, you notice that the way she's walking means she's probably carrying an injury. And the fact that she doesn't seem at all surprised or worried by the TIE, meaning there's a good chance this is a friend, not foe. Could this be a TIE commandeered by the Rebels, and thus where Jyn gets that Imperial outfit she was seen wearing in the first trailer?

Also noteworthy here is that she does not have the Death Star plans (or at least what we're assuming are the plans) that she does in a couple of other scenes, despite wearing the same outfit (when running out onto the beach, and through the tunnel). All of these seem to take place on Scarif, so that would mean she's either offloaded the plans at this point, or (more likely) this happens before she gets them.
