Saw it again last night. Still loved it. Leia being in the battle...why not? She's never been one to shy away from duty. Look at her leading the evacuation of Hoth in Empire, she's practically the last person out of the base, making sure all the transports were out of there before she saved herself. Totally in character for her to be in the thick of the battle.
One thing I still don't get. What was the point of Tarkin blowing up Scarif? And why did he fire at a point miles away from the data center?
Kinda weird he blew up the galactic archives, but it was a way for him to get rid of the director, put down the rebellion, test out the weapon and of course a great way to tie up the end of the movie in a neat little bow.
Not sure it mattered where he aimed for? The whole planet was going down.
