Star Wars Movies Rogue One Continuity

Edit

Audio/visual unsynchronised

When the Imperial officers in the main tower see the explosions on the landing pads, the sound reaches them simultaneously. The distant landing pads are about a kilometer or so from the main tower, so there should have been a brief delay of a few seconds before the sound reaches them.

Continuity

When Saw Gerrera interrogates Bodhi Rook, Saw reaches for his breathing mask and knocks off the pipe connected to his suit. Cut to Bodhi then back to Saw and the pipe is back in place.

When Krennic goes to take Galen Erso, it is raining. His suit is wet and drops of water are hanging from his insignia (the six red rectangles). The drops appear and disappear between shots.

When Bodhi's trying to activate the communications tower, his cord gets stuck around some small towers that he would have had to go out of his way to wrap the cord around in the first place, and then in the next shot the devices are replaced by crates and the cord now reaches much further despite still being caught in the same spot.

The U-Wing has a very different door design from the practical version (Yavin IV, Edu) to the CGI version (departing Yavin IV, Jedha).

When landing the Transport the crew is preparing for landing as they deploy landing gear. You even hear them say that the landing gear is locked in position. Minutes later, when they actually are landing, you see the the landing gear coming out of the Transport, not being deployed earlier.

When Jyn Erso is talking to Saw Gerrera, the position of his breathing mask changes. It mostly hangs to one side of his chest, but in one close up shot it is in a different position without the character having moved it. It returns to the previous position in the wide shot.

When the shuttle lands on Scarif all of the palm trees surrounding the landing pad are coconut palms. Later an exterior shot of the shuttle shows date palms with pruned leaf bases. These palms are easily available and transplanted as mature trees as the trees in this shot were.

When Krennic is talking with Galen in the opening scene, we see a young Jyn sneak up to within a few meters of where they are, but in the opening wide angle shot, we see that the belt of green vegetation is actually quite narrow and is surrounded by relatively flat and open terrain.

During the epic struggle to steal and transmit the Death Star plans, the Death Star is functional. However, in episode IV, the Death Star is not operational until long after the plans are with R2-D2.

Darth Vader's Star Destroyer has 2 gun turrets on the bow. These turrets were not present on his ship in Episode 4 (which takes precedence in canon).

Crew or equipment visible

During Darth Vader's first scene on Mustafar, light from the window behind him is visible through the lower part of his ventilator and it is also possible to see part of Spencer Wilding's head.

As the camera pans into the control centre of the data bank station for the first time, we see officers huddling around a couple of consoles. These consoles appear to be rugged and firmly planted to the deck. However, one of the furthermost consoles was visibly nudged out of position as the camera drew away (towards Krennic).

Miscellaneous

On Eadu, when Krennic's shuttle takes off, Jyn is blown backwards, but Galen is not - Galen is flat on the ground (the blast passes above him) while Jyn is not, so the blast affects her.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

During the space battle over Scarif, in one shot of Gold Leader's Y-Wing cockpit, the edge of the Death Star's equatorial trench can be seen through the back window of the cockpit behind him. This is reused footage from the rebel attack on the Death Star from Star Wars. Actually, while it is re-used footage, the background has been digitally altered to be the shield gate.

When the actual Death Star schematic is shown on a screen, it has an error - the superlaser dish is shown on the equatorial trench; it is actually above this trench, not on it. This may be a deliberate error done as a throwback to Star Wars, which has the same apparent goof.

A giant Jedi statue, lying in the sand, is at first lying on its left side (like in Trailer #2), but zooming out, it is lying on its right side. As it may look like this on casual observation, there are actually at least two toppled Jedi statues in the vicinity. The one the group passes at the beginning of the scene can be seen in the scene's very last shot to the far left of the frame.

As the rebels are setting charges on Scarif, they twist them to, presumably, arm them. The second or third charge never gets twisted. However, activating one may be all that is needed to detonate all of them, as they may well be linked.

At Jedha, in the wide shots, the Death Star is upside down as shown by the superlaser dish being on the bottom half of the station when it should be on the top half.

The Death Star was rotated into this position for the attack. There's nothing inherently wrong with doing this in space since there is no true up or down in zero gravity.

Revealing mistakes

When the shuttle's thrusters ignite a conscious Jyn is pushed backwards to the edge of the platform but an unconscious Galen, who is nearer to the shuttle than Jyn, stays at the same spot and in the same position as before the ignition.

When the U-Wing was approaching the Imperial Kyber refinery, it took a hit on the rock. Upon impact, Bodhi fell backward. He should have fallen forward due to inertia when the vehicle reduced speed hitting the rock.

Spoilers

The goof items below may give away important plot points.

Continuity

A corridor and platform lead to Princess Leia's ship from the back; this is most evident when Vader stands on the platform as the ship flies away. However, the ship doesn't have a hatch in the back; there's only the engines and thrust nozzles.

When Galen Erso is lying on the ground, his angled leg changes. First his left leg is angled, then his right and finally his left leg again.

Galen lies dying on the platform in the pouring rain. A moment later, as Cassian grabs Jyn's arm and forces her to run with him, the camera closes in on Galen's body. There's no rain falling.

After Jyn and Cassian transmit the schematics and drop down from the antenna, Jyn opens a door by pressing the top 2 buttons on the panel. When the camera angle changes, her fingers are on the bottom 2 buttons.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

When Darth Vader attacks the Alderaan troopers in the corridor, he uses the Force to disarm four of the last five troopers before the door. Vader telekinetically "grabs" the troopers' laser rifles and "yanks" them out of their hands so that the four rifles fly backwards over Vader's shoulders into the corridor behind him. Vader then kills two of them, which should leave three, and yet after a cut there are still four, and at least two of them armed. However, there are actually six troops before the door, not five, so the numbers are correct.

The Death Star plans are passed, by hand, through a closing airlock door, on the same data disk/card Princess Leia apparently uses to transfer the plans to R2-D2 in Star Wars; however, in A New Hope, Darth Vader describes the Death Star plans having been beamed to the ship by spies, not delivered by hand. The Death Star Plans are beamed to the flagship, which are then downloaded to the disk and given to the princess aboard the Tantive IV.
