I have tickets tomorrow with my family at 4:45. 2D showing for us.
I watched Empire this morning and noted the use of "Rogue" in the call-signs for the snowspeeder pilots. I checked out IMDB and did not see a "Rogue One" but there was a "Rogue Two" (Hobbie) and "Rogue Three" (Wedge). Wonder if that is connected somehow?
I'm sure that they'll give it canonical explanation since we know from the trailer that Bodhi give the call sign as Rogue One for their ship. Luke IIRC was explained to be the Squadron Leader in ESB, or it is assumed as such.
Though, I think that ESB is the only mention of squadron in film, but R1 was mentioned in TFA an I think we assume that means Rogue Leader. Wedge and Luke were both in Red Squadron in IV, Rogue Squadron in ESB, and Wedge is in charge of Red Squadron in ROTJ from what I remember.
