Audiences might get confused. X-wings and tie fighters only.
No. X-wings, Y-wings, A-wings, and B-wings for all.

Would you rather it be "Star Wars: Rogue One"? "A Star Wars Story" seems more like a branding to me than an actual subtitle. Probably all future side stories will have that branding too.

It's possible that the Death Star plans were captured by another Rebel group that had A-Wings and B-Wings like Phoenix Squadron from Rebels, or that Yavin's few A-Wings or B-Wings were destroyed obtaining the Death Star plans.
But I'm definitely expecting predominantly X-Wings with a few Y-Wings. Hopefully a new fighter or two, since my Rebel Squadron in X-Wing Miniatures could always use some new ships.

Why doesn't the empire make a second copy of the plans? Why does this premise sound so dumb?

Star Wars VII hit all the right notes for a lot of people. For my part, if the quality can be maintained then milk away, Mickey. I'll bring my largest pail
..also, they're not stealing the plans in hopes that the Empire forgets how to finish the damn thing.
It's so that they know how it's built, can exploit structural weaknesses, etc, etc. Which.. you know, is what they did. In A New Hope.
???
The premise was around since 1977's title crawl.
The Empire still has the Death Star plans if they want to use then. They're worried about the Rebels getting the plans because the Rebels could use them to find a weakness for the Death Star. Which we know is exactly what happened.
The real question is why Leia didn't just fax the plans over to Yavin at the beginning of A New Hope.
...uhhh, the Empire doesn't want those plans back because there's only one copy. There isn't. They want them back so the Rebels can't figure out if the Death Star has any weaknesses.

I have this hilarious mental image of Darth Vader opening a rental copy of a video game only to find that the instruction manual is gone.
NOOOOOOOO NOW HOW WILL I PLAY THE GAME

Which disappoints me. I always wanted a Rogue Squadron movie..
dumber than having a open-for-explosives shaft directly connected to the galaxy's most dangerous weapon main reactor core?
Most of the best stuff from Empire Strikes Back is people on the run in a busted freighter. Pretty sure people will do fine without another Jedi movie.
Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Donnie Yen and Felicity Jones in a Star Wars movie
Also my #1
Lol
Sure, that's the premise

Probably because that is not actually the plot of Star Wars.

Should be a Netflix original instead.
There was a big thread with much positiv reactions, but there wasnt much new news after this, so, no. Not really.

The point is having intel to plan sabotage or an attack, not to steal the only copy of the plans so the empire can't use them. The plot of the first star wars culminated in using said intel to blow the death star up by taking advantage of some improbably-convenient halfassed engineering to hit the weak spot for massive damage..
So, people didn't like Ant-Man now? We revising history already?
Was your younger sibling one of the younglings Vader killed?
