Where does the missing rebel starfighter strike on Jedha fit? (Its excision, btw, may be related to inserting the Eadu sequence, if we think that’s totally reshoots)
Do we know there was a missing strike on Jedha? Where does that come from? As for Eadu, it’s possible there could have been a sequence there beforehand but it would have been completely different. My biggest question mark is where Galen fits into all of this pre-reshoots.
See my links here, but I guess we don’t know. Agree about Galen pre-reshoots being a mystery.
Hmm, well that could have easily been an off-screen event.
Rebel Command know there’s a weapon being built, and it’s going to be tested soon. Is that test still Jedha? I assume so, but then we have the Death Star starting at Scerif (its construction site), then heading to Jedha, then returning to Scerif.
Since Jyn doesn’t learn about the Death Star until she’s at Yavin post-Jedha, what does she think is going on on Jedha with Saw, Bohdi, Cassian, etc?
I think the sequencing of things aren’t too different from the theatrical. Jyn is on Jedha with Saw beforehand via flashbacks, but the sequence with Cassian, Bodhi, K2, etc. doesn’t happen until after Yavin. It was still their first stop, and probably for similar reasons.
I may be coming around to your view on this order of events.
The first full trailer seems to imply as much and I don’t see why not.
Also, rewatching that trailer, Eadu and the X-Wing strike is definitely there. So I don’t know what that means for Galen. I guess they still go there to find him and he still dies there probably. And there are definitely X-Wings on Scarif too. So not all my assumptions may be entirely correct.
