This Daisy Ridley interview has some amusing tidbits for those who are as morbidly fascinated by this movie’s troubled production as I am. Bear in mind that it is an interview with children for a children’s hospital though.

“I hope they release the bloopers. We had to do this thing where we would do the scene with dialogue, and then it was helpful for JJ and Maryann (our editor) to get bits of us not speaking - for trailers and stuff - so a few times we had to do the scenes without dialog and we would all just wet ourselves laughing.” at 21:30

“Me and JJ had had a conversation where I was not the granddaughter [of Palpatine], and then we had a conversation a couple of weeks later where I was.” at 17:00

I also recently noticed that Chris Terrio says in the BTS documentary that “the hope at the beginning of the film that Sidious articulates is that the dyad will come together on the dark side” which lines up with one of the earlier leaked plots of the film, but doesn’t even vaguely reflect the final movie, where Palpatine doesn’t know of the dyad until very late in the movie.

It’s a shame Disney will never release any additional footage or Rinzler-esque books - but then again, maybe it’s the fact that big mouse doesn’t want you to know that makes it interesting.
