![]() ![]() Rogue One being a standalone story and set apart from the saga, however, means it is difficult to compare with any of the Episodes. ![]() Rogue One is not just a standalone story it is a supplemental story which enriches the viewing experience of the other films. We also know why the Empire constructed the Death Star with such a fatal flaw.
