The first standalone solo story (aka, non-Saga film) to be told by Lucasfilm, Rogue One leads into Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has the distinction of being one of the only Star Wars movies — heck, one of the only Disney movies — where the majority of the main cast dies horribly at the end.
Only, it’s populated by a slew of characters that we never see if A New Hope.
Today, I learned that K-2SO had a different outcome… one that Alan Tudyk tells me they actually filmed.
