The crucial blueprints show the weakness of the port that Luke shoots through to blow it up at the films’s conclusion.
These are the same plans Luke Skywalker finds in R2D2 in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977). As the threat of the first Death Star looms large, the rebels are tasked with stealing the blueprints so they can take down the Death Star. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story(2016) takes place just before the original Star Wars movies and focuses on a group of rebels, including new protagonist Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones). Set just before A New Hope begins, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story tells the story of the rebel team that went behind enemy lines to retrieve those plans from the Empire. Quick Answer: In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi must bring the plans to the Death Star (contained in R2-D2) to Princess Leia Organa.
