Star Wars: Rogue One - Predicting The Entire Plot In 10 Steps
4. The Rebellion's First Victory On Scarif (Is Just A Cover)
Now we move into the really rather epic final act set on the ironic paradise of Scarif, where the Death Star was constructed and the schematics are being held. This is the location of the Rebellion's first victory against the Empire, but, as the opening crawl told us back in 1977, this is just a cover for the covert operation.
So we have this massive ground assault, with Rebel troops backed by X-Wings going up against Stormtroopers, AT-ACTs and TIEs, but meanwhile Jyn and co are getting decked out in Imperial gear and using Empire means - that TIE Fighter she goes up against in the second trailer is 100% on her side - to infiltrate the base; that "what will you become?" shot is simply her pulling a Luke and posing as an Imperial.
They succeed, and go for a run down the Canary Wharf set (Cassian is wearing Imperial trousers and there's sand camo troopers going the other way). On their way out, however, the might of the Empire comes down hard, and that's where things get... deadly.
