I loved that the whole idea came from one line in the opening crawl of the New Hope.

Its kind of funny because pre PT movies and the Rebels series, the Rebellion was pretty well getting its a$$ kicked across the Galaxy.
Then in a short span the Empire lost at Lothal, and you can argue that the victory in Rogue One was a pretty bitter victory. They lost their best Admiral at the time and a huge chunk of their fleet to get the plans.
If you didn't know about what happened in ANH, you'd be sure that the ending of Rogue One might not have been a great one for the Rebels.
If you look at the Empire, realistically from the end of ROTS to maybe the last 15 minutes of ANH it was pretty much the Empire kicking the crap out of the Rebels. I mean yeah you had the destruction of the Death Star, which in the Legends EU most of the Senior Imperial Commanders were happy to see happen, but the Empire still had a massive fleet and shrugged their shoulders because they would build a bigger better bader Death Star.
