Corrected entry: After the corvette escapes at the end, Darth Vader is standing at the edge of the hanger, and his cape is fluttering in the breeze. Only problem is they're in space, with no wind, or high enough that the atmosphere is so thin that there's no wind. Or there's a forcefield closing off the hanger from the outside, so no wind. And even if it's that air is rushing out of the ship due to the vacuum, his cape would be blowing towards the hole, not away from it. Plus the troopers behind him would all be asphyxiated - their suits aren't space suits. (02:05:00)

Correction: Actually, you can survive in a Stormtrooper-suit in space for about 30 minutes. The suit seals up and there is a limited supply of oxygen.

Correction: Storm Trooper suits have a temporary seal to help them survive without oxygen. As for Vader's cape, it is likely that, following the departure of the Corvette, the hanger's forcefield will have engaged and it is re-pressurising. This would cause air flow and therefore his cape would blow.

Corrected entry: When approaching the landing area on Scarif, the pilot says that the landing gear is locked in position. Then in a later shot when the ship is just above the ground, that's when we see the landing gear actually emerge. (01:25:55 - 01:27:45)

Correction: Body actually says "landing track locked", not gear locked. He is referring to the guidance system that will help them fly down to the platform. He locked on the signal provided by control to land. Nothing to do with the ship's landing gear.
