But we all know that Emperor Palpatine WANTED Rouge Squadron to find the plans in the first place, that he even engineered the entire thing...
So what's the point of this movie again?
This is the story of the squadron who stole the plans for the FIRST Death Star. Not the second one.
Yep. The rebellion was too small when the first Death Star was destroyed for the empire to be worried about the rebellion. Palpatine dissolved the senate in anticipation of the Death Star and with the confidence that it would make up for the lack of control the senate provided. Once the Death Star was destroyed, that needed power was gone and people flocked to the rebellion in huge numbers. It was at that point that Palpatine started planning the endor ambush.
It has drivin me absolutely nuts when I hear people talk about "we will finally see all those bothans dying" in conjunction with this movie.
