Just saw this yesterday. And the King has done it again, folks.
I’ve always liked Rogue One, but watching this edit after Andor turns the whole thing up even a few more notches.
I’ll give this edit a 99.9 score.
0.1 points is deducted because of the missing “Jyn, I’ll be there for you… Cassian said I’d have to”.
So now I’m looking forward to the maximalist version where this is included 😉Great work, Hal!
Thanks! That line was only removed because of the lovey eyes between Cassian and Jyn. It was not possible to salvage.
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
If I can offer a suggestion for a future revision, cut the Bor Gullet scene entirely. Bor Gullet appears in that one, very strange scene, purportedly as a way for a very paranoid Saw to learn if the defected Imperial Pilot is lying, then keeps him imprisoned (even though theoretically he should know he’s telling the truth?). It makes no sense, is never followed up in Rogue One, really doesn’t add anything to the film except slowing things down.
