Is this just being super nit-picky, or did it bother anyone else how in Rogue One

Quite a few of the ships were different than in A New Hope, when it is supposed to end like moments before that movie. Yeah they had the Xwings, Y-wings, and regular TIE fighters, but there were numerous other rebel and imperial (both fighter and transport) ships that just disappeared from the fleets in a movie that took place a few hours before the next. It just seems like if they would have spent a little more time and resources on character development instead of on aesthetics and designing new ships that dont even make sense they could have gone from a good movie to a truly great movie, but maybe that decision was based purely on screen time limitations.

I'd be more interested in discussing this if you would give examples. The one that sticks out to me is the corvette designed to ram other capital ships.
And honestly that doesn't bother me. I like to think there is a vast universe in Star Wars that was never shown to us because the story of Episodes 4 through 6 was basically the story of one group of people. We never really leave them to go explore the greater portion of the universe.
So basically if Luke, Han, or Leah didn't see, ride in, or come across a ramming corvette then we as the audience never saw it.
TL; DR - doesn't bother me that there are other ships that are introduced in Rouge One

There were new ships in every single episode. They got toys to sell, bro.
But generally, no. They had enough consistencies to satisfy me.

The way I look at it is a lot of Rogue One takes place in atmosphere so there are ships specific to fighting in that.
And toys, gotta sell some toys.

The Hammerhead ships and how they got them was covered in an episode of Star Wars Rebels. Actually, a lot of the building of the rebel forces has been covered in that series.

Isn't the Hammerhead a ship from a long time ago? Like thousands of years ago making it rarer ship than the newer x-wings? I might be remembering that incorrectly.

Nah it didn't bother me. Every SW movies will have some new ships even if it's a prequel.

It doesn't bother me at all.
Outside of the Tantive IV, Vader's Star Destroyer and one or two other destroyers when the Falcon leaves Mos Eisley, we don't see any other capital shops in A New Hope.
The bulk of the rebel fleet has moved on to somewhere else and the rebel base has been at least partially evacuated (given that Mon Mothma isn't there) and so they may not have a full compliment of fighters either.
The Death Star doesn't need a contingent of ships to defend it because of the defensive systems built around it, and it carries a smaller group of TIE Fighters because they don't expect to have to defend against small one man ships.
If anything, I would have expected to see the Rogue One ships during the Battle of Endor, but given that took place several years after Rogue One, it is possible that the rebel ships have been destroyed in clashes in between movies.

Pretty sure that these ships (Medium transports) are in Rogue One, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.

I thought they remained fairly consistent with the look of Rogue One and Episode IV.
I'm more bothered by how all of the ships and technology seemed MUCH MUCH more advanced in the prequel series than in the original series. Not that much time has passed in the timeline, yet it looks like they took a huge step back in technology. I realize that they were in a time of war, but still... (I've only seen the movies. I have not read books, comics, seen cartoons etc to obtain any outside knowledge other than what was shown in the films)

You are bothered with the fact that technology advanced, in real time, from 1977-1983 to 1999-2005?? That seems rather petty... you are just looking for something to complain about.

Remember in the prequels the two opposing armies were the droid army which I would expect their ships to be top notched with the latest technology and the other was the clone army that had been being designed for years prior to coming to the fray. The rebel ships now are basically any craft they could manage to beg, borrow, or steal from supporters or salvage yards.

It bothered me some, not a ton, but definitely irked me, especially with some of the fighters and transport ships. It is just weird seeing ships that are prominent parts of the rebellion that will inexplicably never be used/see again from the exact same people in about a weeks time.
Not a huge issue by any means, but was a little weird.

Are you an idiot?

My popcorn tasted a little funky, and the kid behind me kept slurping his empty Hi-C, but other than that I enjoyed every minute of Rogue One. No complaints.

What bothered me a little is how easily the At-Ats were destroyed in rogue one. The x-wings annihilated them.

That is why they upgraded the armor in Empire.
Posted on 3/29/17 at 9:30 am to sumtimeitbeslikedat
...and I know thereis a big difference between speeders and the x-wings, which are starfighters, but I wish they would have been a little more balanced. At-Ats are supposed to be some bad mother's.
Posted on 3/29/17 at 9:30 am to BloodSweat&Beers
The At-Ats were always suspect to under the neck weak armor. Even in the ESB.

I know that, but the x-wings were blowing them in half in rogue one.
