Star Wars: How The Death Star Plans Were Originally Stolen

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story expanded upon the opening crawl of the original Star Wars movie by retconning how the Death Star plans were stolen. While A New Hope outlined the premise for how the Rebels acquired the plans, the original Star Wars Expanded Universe of books, comics, and video games offered a more detailed account, adding specific characters and locations. However, things became complicated as multiple Star Wars stories told different versions of how the Death Star plans were stolen, with some Star Wars authors attempting to reconcile the various accounts.
