Star Wars: The Last Jedi Facts
24. Cues from Rogue One
There were a lot of plot points and storylines that took place in The Last Jedi. However, the main point of conflict is the Empire’s method of hyperspace tracking, something that put much of the film’s events in motion. While this seemed like a random component to add to the story, an eagle-eyed viewer of Rogue One discovered that it was not all that out of place. As Jyn Erso searches for the Death Star plans in Rogue One, she comes across preliminary information that reveals that the Empire was planning to develop this technology.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens caught fans off guard by having Daniel Craig don a Stormtrooper mask. The Last Jedi followed up nicely with some cameos of its own. A frequent Rian Johnson collaborator, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt voiced the alien that informed the police that Finn and Rose were illegally parked outside.
