Yes I just came back from a second viewing and I definitely heard the same thing.

It sounds like Sebulba but it's something else, I think it's actually a character reference from Rebels though I'm not completely sure. I think I just read about it like a day or two ago.

Yeah they are referencing general Syndulla. A character from Star Wars Rebels. LucasFilm confirmed it.
EDIT

This is definitely something that stood out to me a lot more after my second time seeing it. The rogue one crew, the rebel bombers and Krennic's ship all converge on Eadu within minutes of each other. Of course the same is true of the ending when the rebel fleet gets to Scarrif very quickly
It was... an okay effort. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.
I'm surprised I wasn't as peeved with the Uncanny Valley effect in this movie besides Leia looking like a Gerber Baby. They did some good shadowing and quick cuts so it never lingers for so long.
I can't believe I have to nitpick a movie about having TOO MUCH action, but it did get in the way of not having enough character development for the ragtag group. So when their dying moments did come, nothing really resonated. Except maybe the robot.

Is there a reason why it was left out? I've got a great ear for that stuff and walked out realizing I never heard it.

Probably just didn't wanna put it in.
It's a trend I hope continues.
It's a joke almost as dead as Thor 2

I liked that Vader's movements were about as minimal as possible to complete his objective, as though the rebels weren't even worth the energy expenditure.
I always hated the baton waving sword fights of the prequel trilogy.
Earlier in this very thread. Don't remember specifically what it was. Maybe that Gareth Edwards Empire interview?
I get people hate it but I kinda see it as tradition. Either way is cool with me though.
It's almost as traditional as bad feeling but not quite there.

Are there any comical deaths in this movie? I don't think a Wilhelm Scream would fit.
I think the flipping Stormtrooper from that one explosion on Jedha would have worked

Kaytoo gets a couple.
Krennic.
They should have done it for that one no look shot he does. Just never cut away and show through Stormtrooper going down, K2 just shoots and you hear the scream off camera.
Pretty much any scene with a stormtrooper. One thing I really hated about R1.

I was hoping Cassian would let one loose at the end.

Shoulda been Jyn's mom. Get it out of the way early.
I really have no complaints about the film. And I could complain about every aspect of the prequels. It had the best cinematography of all eight films, far exceeding the OT while perfectly fitting in as a prequel. Amazing.
But I do wonder if some of the original ending with Jyn and Cassian fighting on the beach would have been better.

Probably not since they felt the need to change it.
Link to original ending?

I went in totally blind and watched this the other. I really, really enjoyed it.
The only thing that bothered me was just how weak the Storm Troopers continued to be. I can understand being idiots and dying to blaster fire, but being knocked out by punches and kicks and hits from sticks? I don't know, I felt like it was a bit much, but I bet there are dumber things in the other movies that I just forgot about.
I think I actually enjoyed this more than The Force Awakens.
Either way, two for two in my books when it comes to the new generation of Star Wars.

This isn't really meant as a disagreement, but action and character development do not neccessarily oppose each other. Matrix is a good example of that. The Matrix sequels, sans one or two points, showed how you do it wrong.
I really didn't like how they sounded and sure didn't enjoy their scenes in the film. They were about as menacing as the droids in the PT.
I lost track of how many times they were snuck up on in broad daylight.

Holy shiet poor robot guy, poor rogue one suicidal team, poor planets slow death
The rebel army coming out light speed was so amazing!!!!! I guess that explain why the rebel didnt wanted to gather the army on Episode 4 and 5 since they got destroyed badly in rogue one
Did the monk guy turned into a jedi for a moment where the bullets didnt hit him, I got the idea the force was helping him in that moment.
is also funny in the LATAM voice the mexican guy is voicing his own voice

I think, having read up on what the changes to this film likely were, that the biggest thing that could have strengthened R1 would have been keeping the original characterization and backstory of Jyn. I really like the character, but her transformation from not giving a fuck, to speech giving beacon of hope felt rushed and kind of out of place. I remember reading an interview with jones where she talked about her character absolutely despising the Empire, and being a lot closer to a Saw Guerrera type than what she ended up being in the end. I think we could have lost the mind reading tentacle monster and a couple minutes of cameos to flesh out her backstory a little more, show us why she was in jail at least.
Both K2SO and Chirrut were shot by lasers.
Nah I think K2SO died when he smashed the console (at least it looked like it) and Chirrut (Donnie right?) died when someone shot that master switch thing and it blew up
K2SO at least died in an explosion still though when he smashed down on the computer or whatever it was.
Both involved shooting(I mean K2SO got lid up by Stormtroopers), but eh, you're still right, lol.
Chirrut was definitely done in by an explosion of the master switch. KS died from some lasers and then smashing the console (pseudo explosion).

I thought it was a enjoyable movie with a few small flaws.
Forest Whitakers character should have died a better death instead of just saying fuck it and dying for the hell of it. Anything would have been better. If not in the finale then maybe he could have sacrificed himself holding off stormtroopers at any of the other fights in the movie. ANYTHING would have been better.
The ending was maybe went a little too far in linking it with the start of Episode IV. Maybe princess leias ship shouldn't have been at the final battle but instead a ship escapes the battle and meets up with that ship?
Cool that everyone dies though. Leaves no lose ends. I was sitting behind 2 kids and they where a little shook.
Vaders volcano castle is so goofy.
Chinese Force Monk guy was cool. And I guess it also fleshes out the Force mythos a little which should help them in the newer episodes where they dont have Jedis and stuff.

Forest Whitaker was credited as Plot Device in this film, he was the guy who moved the main chick from the intro to the first act and then pointlessly sacrifices himself to move her from the first act to second. He shows up, did that completely pointless crap with the cthulu wannabe thing to that poor pilot guy for completely unexplained (or unexplainable?) reasons and then died because... well... who knows
Also, "leaves no loose ends" is generally a requirement when making an inter-quel with no major characters from other films... would have been kinda dumb if these guys all lived as heroes when they weren't even mentioned in passing in the original trilogy

Forest Whitaker was slow as fuck. Didn't you see that dude move? Those guys needed to haul ass back to their ship. Forest didn't die for nothing. He made a sacrifice so Jyn could possibly get out safely. He wasn't bout that jog lyfe.
