Someone who does Reddit ask him what what version of Star Wars he saw in 4K!

and does a cut of Rogue One before the re-shoots still exist - and does he think it likely it’ll ever get released?

(or can we pop around his place sometime and watch his pre-re-shoot cut of it?)

Do we even know if there’s a complete cut of some alternate story?

I’m guessing there is a cut of the film that was completed (or near-on completed) - before the re-shoots were ordered.

a decent video with some interesting comparisons, insight and info on many scenes from Rogue One…

Edwards’ explanation on the cut stuff/reshoots does make sense. Still, it just makes me want an extended edition even more. The shots of Jyn and Co. running across the beach are so exciting and the group having to run to another location to beam up the plans sounds great!
If your gonna cut stuff for time, how about losing the stupid call backs and cameos? Or the squid that didn’t do anything?
I’m still looking forward to seeing the film a second time and adding a fourth film to my Star Wars collection.

So, the shot of Vader and Krennic talking on the Death Star/A Star Destroyer is just a ‘thread’ and not an actual scene? That doesn’t even make sense to me. You never see Darth Vader on any Imperial station, so unless that scene was Mustafar and the CGI background was simply replaced, he isn’t telling the entire truth.

In the trailer, you see Vader standing in front of a readout screen and then Krennic speaking more confidently to him about the ‘power’ of the weapon. If this was an alternate take of the meeting on Mustafar, that’s fine. But that is still a deleted scene (or at least an alternate take). I want to see that shot. It had finished effects.

I have a feeling that the lava planet was added later and the original idea was that Vader was on a Stardestroyer. I don’t have much to base that on, so I could very well be wrong.
It would have been nice if he was on his big Destroyer from ESB. I know some would complain that it would ruin that ships reveal in ESB, but I see this film as a bonus story to the OT, not something to watch before it.

That’s fine, but it is still a scene that was shot with finished effects. That’s the point of the bonus footage scenes on releases. One of the ways it WOULDN’T have been is if Vader and Krennic had been having this encounter in front of Tarkin.

If they don’t want to have deleted/alternate scenes, that is disappointing but is ultimately their choice. I just have a heard time believing that what we saw in the film were the only scenes shot. Like, for example, the changing hairstyles of Saw Guerrera.

Well it would certainly be nice to see executor in R1. However, I have always assumed that it was constructed sometime between ANH and ESB, since Vader’s flagship was a normal ISD in ANH.

Still I would personally prefer if they met on a ship (even if just ISD) instead of lava planet. It would give the feeling that Vader is constantly doing something instead of sitting somewhere.

I agree.

I agree with this, too.

@ crawl:
I agree that there should be no problem to include an optional crawl for the home release.

And I’d still argue if this was a good idea to omit it. It should be kept, if only to help all those clueless “is-this-the-fourth-death-star?” people 😉

@ Vader’s castle:
Hey, even Hitler & Stalin enjoyed some fun time in a summer house.

This is interesting. Apparently, Gareth drew a lot of inspiration for the third act of Rogue One from Jedi.

Has everyone decided where they are going to get the Rogue One blu-ray/DVD? Anyone going for an exclusive? I’m most likely getting the Steelbook.

I was thinking about actually ordering the UK edition, but it doesn’t come with a UV code and I actually sometimes use those, for instance while traveling. Oh well. All the art really sucks anyway. Will probably get the standard or the Walmart version. Don’t care about the 3D and honestly think the steelbook is pretty ugly.

I’m gonna go with the cheapest Blu-ray option.

That’s a good idea too. Target is also currently offering a gift card with preorder.
