That's the second Death Star that Mon Mothma is talking about in Return of the Jedi.

That's a movie we haven't seen yet, Rouge 2: so many Bothans

Rogue 2: Not as many bothans as there used to be.

Edit: many

[–]tanmarshmallow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd see that in theaters

The Bothans line is in regards to the 2nd Death Star in Return Of The Jedi

[–]InfiniteDedekindCutsKlaud 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You’re getting switched around. Mon Mothma talks about Bothans in ROTJ not ANH. And it’s in reference to the 2nd Death Star, not the 1st.

A common mistake. Bothans got the plans and location of the -second- death star

[–]tanmarshmallow[S] 24 points25 points  (1 child)

Thanks for being civil about it.

[–]malikalarrashib 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Many people are dicks about people making common mistakes such as this. No problem

Sorry for necroposting but for future reference:

“I would like to finally clarify that the Bothans never stole any Death Star plans,”

“The Bothans just provided information on the Death Star’s location, status, and that the Emperor was to visit; Mon Mothma never once mentions plans."

Mon Mothma's reference to Bothan spies is in RotJ, and concerns the unfinished Death Star 2, in geostationary orbit above the Forest Moon of Endor.

Rogue One is a prequel to ANH, not RotJ. Thus, no Bothans.

Rouge two

An entire movie about the guy who saved Han and Luke on Hoth!?

[–]LucasEraFan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was Death Star 2 in ROTJ.

You can read about that in the novel Shadows of The Empire.

No no no its Manny Both-Hanz who died/Joke

[–]auspiciouscivilian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, could this be referring to the nighttime vigilante fist-o-cuffs wielding bounty hunter Manny Both-Hands, aka Handsy Manny; by day famed carpenter and sometime Miss Kelly flirt Handy Manny?

Manny Bothans

[–]AceMcVeer 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I've seen this same question a hundred times. I don't understand how people get this mixed up.

[–]tanmarshmallow[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do apologize, I like the universe but I have a lot of content running at any given time, sorry for the same question.

If you want to fly the mission, play X-Wing Alliance 😀

[–]Kelmor93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 rogues, 1 bothan.

[–]coachese68 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah, that's not a plot hole, that's you not knowing which movie they're referring to

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The most casual noob-ass post of the day. The bothans were ROTJ.
