While Rogue One is fairly explicit about the ultimate fate of the main characters, there was a major exclusion when it comes to some of the biggest unsung heroes: the crew of the Hammerhead Corvette that rammed the Star Destroyer, taking out another Star Destroyer and the shield gate, allowing Jyn Erso to successfully transmit the Death Star plans to the Rebels.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story paved a lot of new territory for the Star Wars franchise as the first stand-alone spinoff movie.
Thanks to the opening crawl, it was already known the Death Star plans were successfully stolen.
In the book, the Hammerhead Corvette, the Lightmaker, is manned only by a skeleton crew, including its captain, Kado Oquoné.
