Continuity errors between Rogue One and Episode IV?

1. In RO, we see how the Rebels intercept the Imperial transmission of "Rebels in Scariff".
Reports also say that the Mon Calamari Admiral Raddus has already gone to his ship, on his way intending to join the fight. We see how many more pilots are sent out, and we see many X-wings take off.
We see C-3PO comment to R2-D2, "Scariff? They're going to Scariff? Why does nobody ever tell me anything, Artoo…?"
How then did they get onto the Tantive IV, when we can assume that the Profundity was already on the way to Scariff, and the Tantive IV was either docked in it already or joined the flight in hyperspace and docked after? Why were they docked on another ship during a battle anyway? If the Profundity was hit and exploded, it would have destroyed the docked ship as well.
2. In RO, the Rebel leaders hope Obi-wan can join them. Bail Organa assures that he knows the perfect person to go get him on Tatooine. This person is Leia. Bail probably sent a transmission to Leia (in Alderaan) to go find Obi-wan on Tatooine.
Yes Leia in the Tantive IV was there in Scariff, in a major battle? She is also a Princess of Alderaan. Scariff is no place for her.
3. In ANH, Leia defends herself by bluffing when accused by Vader, saying, “ I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan”
RO just makes this look like a ridiculous nonsensical lie. My dear, you are orbiting Tatooine. You are WAY off course. Have those navigation droids dismantled.
And we just saw your ship leave Scariff.
Here is the galaxy map. You can see Alderaan way up there, near Coruscant, with Scariff very near Tatooine down there.

4. In ANH, manner to the rebel soldiers was a lot different compared to RO.
Darth Vader: Commander, tear this ship apart until you find those plans! And bring me all passengers, I want them ALIVE!
In ANH, he specifically wanted Rebel soldiers captured, probably to be interrogated later.
In RO, he was (in a way) unnecessarily killing those rebel soldiers. We see how he easily disarmed them by Force pulling the guns away, and could probably knock them around with the Force as well. share
