Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

After a panicked rush to the top of the tower, Jyn manages to transmit the plans, and the rebels damage the shield, so they can receive them. The Death Star fires a low power blast at the planet, destroying the tower (and killing Orson Krennic in the process). Most of the rebels are already dead, and the few survivors are killed by the oncoming blast, including Jyn and Cassian, their mission complete.

The rebels in space copy the plans to a card as Darth Vader arrives and starts slaughtering his way through them to retrieve the information - they're trapped behind a door but manage to get the card out and onto a ship, the Blockade Runner from the start of Episode IV, which breaks free of its "parent" and makes a break for it. We see the plans get delivered to Princess Leia.

More trivia for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Question: C3PO is talking to R2 and says "Scariff..." If they are at the base, how do they get on Leia's ship for her to give R2 the plans? I don't think she picked them up since she is being chased by Vader's ship.

Answer: Princess Leia is not being chased by Vader's ship until after the events of this movie. The entire fleet heads off to Scarif, and she picks up C3PO and R2 off-camera. At the battle on Scarif, we see the mothership get boarded by Darth Vader, and then we see the smaller ship make their escape. That ship contains Princess Leia and the two droids, which is subsequently being chased at the beginning of Episode IV.
