1. Tantive IV & The Devastator

Rogue One concludes with a direct tie-in to the beginning of A New Hope, as the Tantive IV, containing Princess Leia, detaches from the Mon Calamari command ship and flees, just as Darth Vader arrives to ruin everyone left behind on that ship.

The movie's final shot shows the Tantive speeding off, mere seconds before the Devastator's pursuit continues and, of course, Leia inserts the Death Star's plans into R2-D2 for safe keeping. Terrific.
