Rogue Two - would you want to see it?

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Many Bothans died to bring the Rebels that information, but would you want to see that happen?

Now of course, the problem with such a story is that Bothans aren't human, and an argument that I often hear regarding science fiction is that you need human (or an alien species identical to humans) as the heroes or your audience won't be able to relate to them. However, unlike Rogue One, I think that a story regarding the second Death Star is a different kind of story that you would tell, one much more about the Empire than the Rebels: because the battle of Endor was a trap designed by the Emperor.

The way I see it, if you do Rogue Two, it should be about how the Empire formulated the trap and the people behind it. My idea for such a story would be about an Imperial officer who is tasked by the Imperial Security Bureau to leak information of the second Death Star to the Bothans - his cover story being that as an Alderaanian, he wants to get revenge for the planet's destruction and save other planets from the same fate. The story would focus on the officer's own internal conflict, as he's not sure if he's helping the Empire by luring the Rebels into the trap or helping the Rebels if the Emperor's plan fails.

And I'd have it end with the second Death Star test-fired on his ship - the Emperor wants to be sure it's ready for the battle.

Nno (the double n is intentional)

that would be interesting, but there would need to be more action to reach the big screen. and it wouldn't be Rogue 2, it would be something more like the empire's name for the operation. would make a great book like Catalyst though.


though NOT as good as legends

I can see it happening at some point (but not as Rogue Two).  Something like Mission Impossible in Star Wars, maybe?

[DarthRevansRevenge]

Operation: Final Blow or something like that would need to be the name

well I like a film on the bothans but not under rogue 2
maybe in a spinoff that could be like Mission Impossible

Considering my love for bothans I'd watch it.
