How Many ‘Rebels’ Easter Eggs In ‘Rogue One’?

Over at The Nerdist Amy Ratcliffe takes a look at the easter eggs found – so far – in Rogue One that relates to Star Wars Rebels.

Star Wars Rebels and Rogue One take place right next door to each other on the Star Warstimeline. As of season three of Rebels, we’re about three years out from A New Hope, while Rogue One takes place right before Episode IV. I hoped we’d see some overlap or some sort of call out to the Ghost crew in Rogue One, and when a ship that looked like Hera’s light freighter appeared in a TV spot, it seemed likely we’d get some easter eggs. Here are the six Star Wars Rebels easter eggs I spotted in Rogue One, in chronological order.
