From Outer Places, by Janey Tracey:
The mission of the Rogue One crew is well-known to fans: steal the plans to the Death Star. But now, fans already have that intel, as the newest Empire cover promoting the film reveals the Death Star plans in all their glory…

The cover features the famous Imperial weapon, complete with “superlaser details” and technical writing which requires you to be “conversational in Aurabesh.” The blueprints are incredibly detailed, hopefully down to that crucial thermal exhaust port. The cover is exclusive to subscribers, who will also get to read plenty of Rogue One goodness in the issue, including new interviews with director Gareth Edwards and stars Felicity Jones, Forest Whitaker and Riz Ahmed.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on December 16.

Wait…so all this time, the all the rebels had to do was to wait for the plans to be published in a magazine? “Doh!” – Mon Mothma.
They would have had to wait 40 years, who knows what state the galaxy would be in now?
You know, if the Skywalkers/Palpatines would just take a vacation together every once in awhile, the galaxy would be a much safer place. Just sayin.
Yeah, finally! Let’s build it!
It’s really neat to actually see how much of the Death Star is pure systems and structure. I remember seeing the Death Star 2 in Jedi when they few into the main reactor and thinking “That place is huge!”
Beautiful to see Hans Jenssen & Richard Chasemore’s painstaking work validated. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b039a6d4851147f6c2a8c26557f706ad5f93eaa704b3c136f4e7c23fa0b76b9a.jpg
personally Im really excited about how they gonna handle the storage medium, since Vader in ANH reffers to them as ‘stolen data tapes’ if i recall. as a muscian, id love to see the plans stored on a 1″ reel
I can’t remember which trailer it is now, maybe the second? But there’s a shot of Jyn carrying what looks like a retro-future-portable-hard drive the size of a small briefcase.
thats Celebration BTS, the thing is, they are on Scariff at that point and I sort of assumed that the plans are finnaly stolen from the third rain/dark planet where they go undercover
Then why are they hitting Scarif?
The rainy dark planet is where her father is; it makes sense they may be trying to rescue him there.
But I feel like the plans are on Scarif based on the level of its fortification, I mean it’s behind what looks like a planetary shield that encompasses the entire world.
Wondering if we’ll see someone intentionally add the ‘design flaw’ that enables a small fighter to take down the Death Star
Death Star Empire on empire magazine. They totally lucked out with that name 😉
