- Bor Gullet was originally conceived to delve in to Jyn’s past not to find out if Bodhi Rook was telling the truth. From Concept art book.
Didn’t know. Appended my post to fit.
I still don’t believe that tie fighter on the gantry was ever a marketing shot. It was like that before they developed the Tie-Strikers no doubt. I don’t see the point in lying about it. It’s actually a fairly small thing although it was visually superior in the trailer. My gut feeling tells me Jyn had a mexican stand off with that Tie Fighter and shot the pilot through the glass with her blaster. That’s my speculation on it.
Sorry, but there’s really nothing to substantiate that and the official word has been consistent about straight-up admitting that it was a marketing ploy. Also don’t believe there’s a conspiracy at play. If anything, the official line makes Disney look worse than your speculation.
The only possible lie I could buy would be that the happy ending was never filmed; if it were actually filmed then scrapped, the official line that Disney was steadfast in supporting their deaths does make the Mouse House seem better/more artistically supportive.
Ok but I don’t mean straight up lie. I don’t know what all the fuss is about the “Tie Fighter” it has nothing to do with a CGI Tie fighter being there. It has to do with Jyn limping along that gantry and why is she limping?
That has nothing to do with marketing anything. I want to know why she is limping? Let’s just get it straight.
What point is there of her limping towards a switch box and then a Tie Striker also from quite a distance zooming past real fast shoots at her?
In terms of the shot composition it makes more sense that the tie fighter or tie striker or what ever CGI creation you want to put there is right by what she is limping and struggling along to get to. or at least hovering watching for a brief moment close by. Not flying past really quickly and bang explosion. Never mind the Limp…
Marketing is better than the film then? The Marketing department should be making these films because they understand the aesthetics of film better than the director? They even manage to copy the directors distinct style but no the director decides I’ll change it to a quick fly by explosion with very little meaning to it that does not look as good because the marketing department have already used that idea?
It got changed and the marketing department seems to prefer the other cut. Hey ho.
The other question you have to ask is why did the Tie-Striker shoot at the end of the Gantry where the Tie fighter was going to crash?
Gareth Edwards is not a Whizz Bang Director.
