Por que o nome 'Rogue One'?

Aprendemos no filme que o nome "Rogue One" se refere ao indicativo do elenco que foi para capturar os planos para a Estrela da Morte. Como o filme gira em torno da história de origem desse estranho grupo de rebeldes, nomear o filme depois deles parece mais apropriado.

O nome aparentemente ressoou com o diretor do filme, Gareth Edwards, por várias razões diferentes, referindo-se ao filme, o indicativo de chamada da unidade, mas também ao personagem principal Jyn Erso.

"I'd been thinking about it,” he reflects in the new issue of Empire. “What does it mean? 'Rogue One’ is a military call sign to some extent,” he adds, referring to Red Squadron during the Battle of Yavin, "but this is the first film that's gone off-piste and is not part of the saga – or the Anakin story – so it’s the 'rogue' one, you know?”

There’s potentially another meaning to it too, relating to Felicity Jones’ interplanetary guerrilla Jyn Erso. She also has a rogue streak; a touch of the Han Solos in her drive to do what’s right, regardless of how much shit she has to blow up en route. “It's kind of describing her as well in a similar way,” says Edwards. “It has [all] these split, multiple meanings that made it feel like the right choice."

O Rogue Squadron existiu e ficou famoso alguns anos antes de Hoth - então, não há inconsistência de tempo.

Não só você acha que "Rogue One" se refere a "Rogue Squadron":

Rogue One likely references the title given to Rogue Leader, or the commander of the Rebel Alliance's most elite starfighter squadron, Rogue Squadron. The title is one of honor and respect, and is usually handed out to the best pilot in the Defense Force. There have been multiple Rogue Leaders over the years, from Wedge Antilles to Tycho Celchu, though none have been quite as famous as a certain Jedi you might have heard of: Luke Skywalker.
