I wonder why they cut the scene of the tie fighter rising to meet Jyn on the comm tower? It was the most dramatic visual in all the trailers.

The TIE fighter rose up and was about to shoot Jyn but an X-Wing swooped in and destryoed it last second. Since the filmmakers felt like it was too repetitive with the AT-AT moment that happened minutes earlier, they decided to cut the sequence from the scene.
In hindsight, I’m actually happy they decided to cut it.
Where did that guy hear that? Reliable sources I’m familiar with have stated that was just a test effects shot that marketing decided to use.
