I believe that when I wrote that I meant that thedude travelled alone or just with Barney. I'm not sure if the event is pinpointed in time, but if it is it would probably before thedude had the Rogues or probably even the Mythrans.
I agree on Death Star 1. Definitely not Starkiller Base, because that wasn't the one ripoffed! :P
I agree on the point you're making about The Force Awakens. However, I think that Rogue One goes lower on my rating (and I'm not sure how I feel about the prequels ever since I learnt everyone hates them :P).
