21. It's...Rogue. Rogue One

And here's where the film gets its name. As the Rebels embark on their mission, they're halted by someone requesting a call sign. And what answer could they possibly give other than "Rogue... Rogue One."

So, who is Rogue One? Well, there seem to be a couple of possible options here. It could be a direct reference to Galen Erso, or more likely it's a term used for Jyn - perhaps it's even how Galen referred to her as a child.

It's not so clear who's making this request - is it someone working in order to help Galen? Or perhaps just the Rebels on the ground (Mon Mothma et al), who need a call sign in order to communicate with those on the ship?
