I recently watched Rogue One for the first time again after seeing it in a theater in 2016. Needless to say the details were a bit fuzzy in my mind already, but here’s a 100 word summary I’ve now written about the plot – full of spoilers:

Flashback: Empire captures scientist Galen Erso, daughter Jyn escapes. Present: rebels find Jyn to reach extremist Saw Gerrera in Jedha. Saw holds a defected Imperial pilot with a message from Galen, whom Cassian is ordered to eliminate. Jyn sees the message, revealing Galen sabotaged Death Star with a hidden flaw. Death Star destroys Jedha City, Jyn and Cassian escape to Eadu where Galen dies. Rebels mount an attack to Scarif to retrieve the Death Star plans, managing to transmit the plans to Leia’s ship after blind monk Chirrut saves the day. Scarif base is destroyed, attacking rebels die, hope survives.
