A handful of Star Wars super fans are convinced Rogue One and Andor villain Orson Krennic was indire🐠ctly referenced in the original trilogy 👍– and it's all thanks to an empty chair.

On April 29, OkuroIshimoto took to to share a still from 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Often dubbed the 'Death Star conference room',𓂃 it sees Darth Vader and other highly-ranked Galactic Empire officers hold their important meetings. 

In the post, they higꦚhlight that one seat♈ is vacant, alongside the caption: "Hearing a lot of headcanons that this seat was Krennic's. Any other theories?"

"I could be wrong, but I think I remember one of the From a Certain Point of View stories describing how Admiral Motti (or Tagge) glanced over at Krennic's empty seat in the briefing," commented another. "Presumably, the author of that short🐼 story intended for this empty seat to be the one they meant."

"God da🔯mn, yes, this should be the top com🦹ment lmao. It isn't a fan theory, it's confirmed in a canon book as being his seat. It was Tagge though that looked over at Krennic's empty seat," echoed someone else.

"I like the headcannon that it was for Krennic! Never thought of that but it makes sense. He died the day before right??" said a fourth, while a fifth wrote: "I'd never heard this before, but I like it. RIP Krennic.💮 Perhaps when there's ever a 'Very Special Edition' there will ꦜbe a black band draped over the chair in memory of the fallen director."

Others, however, don't seem to be buying it, arguing that the chair was clearly one of four left empty so as not to obstruct certain shots as th🌜e camera moved round the table. Others joked that it's Vader's seat, but he always stands so as not to look goofy.

"Honestly, yeah, the visual of Vader just sitting in a chair with a bunch of rank-and-file guys really doe🥂sn't work. He only looks intimidating if he's standing up and striding arou♋nd with his cloak swooshing behind him," a fan claimed.

In Star Wars canon, said conferen🙈ce takes place after the Empire capture Princess Leia, which happens right after the end of Rogue One. Krennic dies in the Battle of Scarif in the same film, so it's perfectly plausible that the meeting room would've been set up for his attendance, only for him to not to show up. 

Ben Mendelsohn is currently reprising the role of Krennic in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Andor season 2 on Disney Plus, op🎶posite Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, a꧟nd Diego Luna.
