Rogue One was supposed to expand the Star Wars universe. Take us places we've never seen before and give us new stories. But nope it was nostalgia bait made to sell toys like TFA.
Nobody asked for a side story about how the Rebels got the Death Star plans but Disney can't sell OG Stormtrooper, Death Star, and Vader toys without it.
