The women who was talking to Leia's dad (Bail Organa is his name) was Mon Mothma. And the line you're thinking of when she says "many Bothans died to bring us this information" was actually from Return of the Jedi (the Bothans were a group of spies that found the information regarding the second Death Star). Easy to confuse though because essentially it's the same idea: many rebels died to make sure they could destroy both Death Stars. Man, I'm a nerd, lol. I wish you did book reactions because I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the Zahn trilogy of books (which in my humble opinion are better than 7, 8, and 9).

Man, this reaction was so satisfying - I think Rogue One is right up there with the original trilogy - I rank it right behind Empire. It is far and away the best of the "new" Star Wars movies. New, compelling characters that tell the brutal story behind the rebellion that led to Episode IV. I give them a past for the awkward CGI Tarkin and Leia because it was the best they could do, but it's such a great (and important) story. --Crystal
