Yeah it was the old Odeon in Edinburgh 😄
Heh, I suspected as much. When ‘MARS ATTACKS!’ came out in 1996, the majority of Scots couldn’t stomach a day longer of Conservative rule by then, and even a monkey could have beaten them in the 1997 general election… I’m not surprised some in the audience were happy to see the parliament blown up at that point! 😉
Okay, continuing randomly on…

IDEAS FOR INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL -
SHORTEN HOTROD BEGINNING, BUT GET MAIN TITLE AND ATOMIC CAFE SHOTS IN.
HAVE ALIEN LOOKING INTENTLY AT SPALKO AND SEEING THE DEAD LOCAL NATIVES SHOT THAT I TOOK OUT FROM EARLIER IN THE MOVIE.
Have a look at ‘The Fox Cut’ cutlist by ‘TheFoxMan’ to see if there’s anything of use. I think I’d rather include the way I was going to show the vehicle convoy passing the atomic cafe’ sign initially, with just a hint of the hotrod playing Elvis music, but re-check my notes. He mentioned something about cutting out the crystal skeletons changing into an alien. Is this a good idea or not for my version?? Would it work with the way I want to show ‘annoyed’ alien ‘seeing’ that Spalko and her Russian goons killed the local natives??
IDEA FOR HOW TO END ‘ROGUE ONE’ TO MAKE IT ‘TIE-IN’/‘MATCH BETTER’ MORE WITH THE OVERALL ‘FAN SERVICE-FREE’ TONE OF THE ANDOR SHOW - I REALLY LIKE THIS POSSIBILITY! -
Definitely want to DISCARD ALL of the VADER scenes, as I’d rather have him be a mystery figure (like JABBA in ESB), and keep to his initial SILENT entrance in ANH - and also because I really hate the look of him in this, especially his gloves!
…DEATH STAR FIRES AT PLANET, HITTING TOP OF TOWER (and killing Krennic), as we continue as normal as the alien general looks down through glass at the explosion on the planet, and then we continue as normal as we see him in CLOSE-UP saying ‘ROGUE ONE, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU’, as he closes his eyes…
CUT to CLOSE-UP of Jyn and Cassian walking, as they collapse on beach and Cassian says 'YOUR FATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF YOU JYN - NOTE - I WILL NEED TO PLAY ABOUT WITH ALL THESE SHOTS OF THEM BOTH, TO MAKE SURE I CAN GET THE MUSIC TO JOIN AS BEST AS I CAN - and we eventually end on them being obliterated in white (I might end of CLOSE-UP of Jyn, before the whiteout, but not sure yet), and we continue on as the explosion ripples across the planet (and end at the point just before we see and hear the TIEs flying past)
CUT to CLOSE-UP of alien general opening his eyes and looking upwards, as we continue to hear him say ‘ALL SHIPS, PREPARE FOR JUMP TO HYPERSPACE!’ as we see the rebel fleet ships start to jump…just a Stardestroyer suddenly appears firing in front of them, and one ship crashes into it…
(NOTE - This is the ONLY ‘tie-in’ to Vader and the Stardestroyer we see at the start of ANH that I want to include in my version)
CUT to shot of Tantive IV passing by us over the planet (at the point that the ‘smoking’ flagship is out of the frame) - NOTE - I need to include this, or it will seem as if the next shot is happening inside the Stardestroyer!, and we continue on as normal as rebel troops run down it’s white corridor to the sound of alarms, and continue on as Leia is given a message and says it’s ‘hope’, as the Tantive IV then jumps to hyperspace, and the circular ‘iris’ appears to the credits.
LATEST REVISED THOUGHTS ON HOW TO POTENTIALLY END ‘ROGUE ONE’ - INSTEAD OF ENDING WITH ‘CGI LEIA’ SAYING ‘HOPE’, I MIGHT END THINGS ON THE ‘TANTIVE IV’ SHIP NARROWLY ESCAPING FROM VADER (DESPITE HIS ‘GAUNTLETS’!) AND THE STORMTROOPERS INSTEAD…BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE THE IMAGERY OF THAT BETTER, AS IT GIVES THINGS A DARKER TONE TO FINISH THE MOVIE ON, CONSIDERING THAT JYN AND CASSIAN WERE KILLED -
…a close-up of Krennick looks up, and the Death Star fires down towards the planet, destroying the top of the tower that ‘Krennick’ is on…and we transition to the seated alien general looking down at the explosion…as we transition to a close-up of the general saying ‘ROGUE ONE, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU’, as he blinks and looks upwards a little…as we transition to hearing the general then say ‘ALL SHIPS, PREPARE FOR JUMP TO HYPERSPACE!’ as we see the rebel fleet ships start to jump, just a Stardestroyer suddenly appears firing in front of them, and one ship crashes into it…and we transition to Vader coming to a halt, as he looks out at the rebel flagship getting fired at…as we transition to a close-up of Vader’s mask…as we transition to the underside of the stardestroyer…as we transition to a medical frigate breaking up…as we transition to a close-up of Jyn and Cassian (FINISH OFF DESCRIPTION HERE, AS WE CONTINUE AS NORMAL WITH THEIR DIALOGUE AS THEY LOOK TOWARDS THE EXPLOSION APPROACHING THEM AS THE MUSIC SWELLS!)…and we transition to Vader looking out the stardestroyer windows as we hear a voice saying ‘THE REBEL FLAGSHIP IS DISABLED MY LORD’ (and CUT at this point before we then hear ‘BUT HAS RECEIVED TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE SURFACE’, because Vader’s helmet is squint when he then looks to the left at the end of the shot!)
CUT to ‘fairly matching music’ as we see Vader on the stardestroyer bridge saying ‘PREPARE A BOARDING PARTY’, as he turns and walks away, as an Imperial officer says ‘YES MY LORD’, and moves forward…and we transition to the ‘music rising’ as we see a close-up of Cassian hugging Jyn as he closes his eyes…and we transition to a close-up of Jyn hugging Cassian with her eyes open…as we transition to see Cassian and Jyn hugging as the explosion engulfs them in pure whiteness as the music fades away…and we transition to seeing the explosion quietly spread across the planet’s surface, as the music rises again, when an Imperial shuttle and a few TIE fighters fly towards the damaged rebel flagship…and we transition to a close-up of a rebel trooper telling another to ‘HURRY’, as they receive a ‘transmission’ of the ‘Death Star plans’, embedded on a small card (which Leia eventually inserts into R2D2 in A NEW HOPE), which one of the rebels holds up in a close-up as the music ends ‘duh, duh, duh, DAAA’…
CUT to a close-up of a rebel trooper shouting ‘LAUNCH!’…and we transition to other rebels running through the TANTIVE IV’s white corridor, as one of them pulls down on a lever…and we transition to a close-up of clamps unlocking…and we transition to the TANTIVE IV ship dropping down out of the belly of the disabled rebel flagship…and we transition to a close-up of the TANTIVE IV’s rear engines igniting, as it accelerates away above the planet below…and we transition to Vader holding a red lightsaber moving to the edge of a platform with some stormtroopers behind him, as he stops and turns it off…and we transition to Vader looking down at the TANTIVE IV flying away in the distance…and we transition to a close-up of Vader’s mask, as we slow zoom-in towards him…
CUT to the TANTIVE IV’s cockpit interior as it accelerates to hyperspace…as we transition to the TANTIVE IV disappearing away from the planet below…as we transition to a circurlar ‘iris’ with the words ‘Directed by GARETH EDWARDS’ (NOTE - I MIGHT end things on the slow zoom-in close-up of Vader’s mask, and then CUT to the words ‘Directed by GARETH EDWARDS’ instead - not 100% sure yet)
THIS IS THE SCENARIO I LIKE BEST, WHICH MAINTAINS THE BULK OF THE SCORE I LIKE. AND I THINK I’D PREFER TO END WITH THE VADER SCENE, RATHER THAN THE LEIA SAYING “HOPE” SCENE.
I might re-edit the ‘transmission’/Jyn and Cassian leaving Krennic to his fate’ scenes like this (not 100% sure yet) -
Soon after Cassian shoots Krennic, and just after Jyn has pulled down a lever, we then see a close-up of Jyn -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal as the red readout on the console downloads, as we hear the words TRANSMITTING…TRANSMITTING, and Jyn turns round and smiles -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal as Cassian smirks back at her -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal as the ‘transmission’ is received on the rebel flagship, as an alien rebel says ADMIRAL…RECEIVING TRANSMISSION FROM SCARIF!, and the general turns and looks down below -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal -
…and we end on this shot -
AT THIS POINT, we would normally then transition to Jyn going over to Cassian, then start to run towards Krennic who is groaning on the ground, as Cassian pulls her back and tells her LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT…LET’S GO - but I’m not too keen on this scene for a couple of minor reasons - Jyn’s teeth look a little goofy, and the way that Krennic is lying on the ground makes him look a little goofy too - so I would probably discard it altogether and go directly to the shot described below.
…then I’d CUT back to the interior of the rebel flagship, as the ‘transmission’ continues to download, as a voice says TRANSMISSION RECEIVED, and an alien rebel says ADMIRAL…WE HAVE THE PLANS!, and the rebel general says SHE DID IT! -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal, as Jyn supports Cassian, as he says DO YOU THINK…ANYBODY’S LISTENING?, and Jyn replies I DO…SOMEONE’S OUT THERE -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal, as we see the rebel fleet -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal, as an alien rebel says SIR, WE’RE DETECTING A MASSIVE OBJECT EMERGING FROM HYPERSPACE! -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal, as the Death Star appears -
…and we end on this shot -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to the Admiral looking down at the explosion on the planet below -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of the Admiral saying FINISH THIS OFF! -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to the rebel fleet as we hear the Admiral say FINISH THIS OFF! -
PUT A COUPLE MORE SHOTS HERE!
…and we end on this shot -
…then CONTINUE ON as a stardestroyer suddenly appears and starts firing -
…as a rebel ship explodes against the stardestroyer -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to Vader looking out at the rebel flagship on the stardestroyer bridge (THIS WOULD BE HIS FIRST APPEARANCE IN MY IDEAL VERSION OF ‘ROGUE ONE’) -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Vader -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to the underside of the stardestroyer as it continues to fire on the rebel flagship -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of a ‘rebel frigate’ exploding in half -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to Jyn and Cassian walking together -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to Jyn and Cassian dropping down to the ground as the explosion approaches them -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Jyn as she turns towards Cassian -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Cassian saying FINISH THIS OFF!
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Jyn smiling -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Jyn holding Cassian’s hand -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Cassian and Jyn looking out towards the approaching explosion -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to Vader looking out at the damaged rebel flagship from the stardestroyer bridge -
…then CUT at this point where Vader is looking straight ahead immediately before his helmet goes ‘squint’ when he looks over to his left (ADD A LINK TO THE ‘SQUINT’ HELMET SCREENSHOT) -
…then CUT to a close-up of Vader saying FINISH THIS OFF!, as he turns to walk away, and an officers says FINISH THIS OFF! -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Cassian as he holds Jyn close to him -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of Jyn as she holds Cassian close to her -
…and we end on this shot (NOTE - I MIGHT END UP CUTTING DIRECTLY TO THE ‘WHITEOUT’ IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS, NOT 100% SURE YET) -
…then transition as normal to a wide shot of Cassian and Jyn being overwhelmed by the explosion, as the whiteness fades to the explosion on the planet, as Vader’s shuttle and TIEs approach the damaged rebel flagship (NOTE - I MIGHT END UP CUTTING IMMEDIATELY BEFORE CASSIAN OPENS HIS EYES, NOT 100% SURE YET) -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to 2 rebels receiving a transmission, as one shouts HURRY! -
…and we end on this shot (NOTE - I had to use 4k shot here) -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of the transmission showing the Death Star plans, as a rebel picks up a ‘hard copy’ of it in close-up -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal, as one rebel shouts LET’S GO! -
…then transition as normal as the rebels start to run, and one yells GOTTA GO, NOW! -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal as several rebels run down a corridor -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal as the rebels continue running down the corridor -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal as the rebel holding the ‘hard copy’ struggles to open a stuck doorway -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of the doorway window, as the rebel with the ‘hard copy’ bangs the window and shouts HEY! at rebels on the other side -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal as the alarm grows louder and all the rebels turn around and aim their weapons -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal as the rebels aim towards the dark, creaking corridor, as we slowly zoom-in towards Vader igniting his lightsaber -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of a rebel aiming, as someone yells **OPEN FIRE!*, and the rebels start firing their weapons -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to the rebels firing -
…then transition as normal to Vader deflecting the laserbolts with his lightsaber, as he moves closer -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal as the deflected laserbolts start to hit the rebels -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to more rebels getting killed by deflected laserbolts -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal to a close-up of the rebel holding the ‘hard copy’ banging on the doorway window, and yelling HELP US! -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition as normal as Vader keeps slashing and moving closer -
(NOTE - I had to use a 4k screencap for the next shot)
(NOTE - I had to use a 4k screencap for the next shot)
…and we end on this shot, where I’d CUT at the point IMMEDIATELY BEFORE he raises his hand out to ‘Force -lift’ a rebel against the corridor ceiling (AS I DON’T WANT VADER TO LOOK TOO ‘OVER-POWERED’ BEFORE ‘A NEW HOPE’, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE GUY RISING TO THE CEILING LOOKS A BIT RIDICULOUS!) -
…and then I’d CUT to the close-up the rebel at the doorway window, as another rebel says IT’S JAMMED! -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal, as we the desperate rebel through the doorway window, as Vader gets nearer -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal, as another rebel tries to move the doorway on the other side -
…and we end on this shot -
NOTE -I’D GET RID OF THE SHOTS OF VADER SLICING THE GUY ON THE CEILING AT THIS POINT, AND ‘FORCE-FLINGING’ THE REBEL’S WEAPOINS OUT OF THEIR HANDS, AS I DISLIKE THE LOOK OF HIS GUANTLET GLOVES, AND THE REBELS STILL SEEM TO HAVE WEAPONS IN THEIR HANDS IN SHOTS THAT COME AFTERWARDS!
…and then I’d CUT to this shot of Vader slicing at the rebels (which comes IMMEDIATELY AFTER their weapons are flung behind him, as he then ‘Force-lifts’ a rebel up and throws him against the corridor wall) -
(NOTE - I had to use a 4k screencap here) -
(NOTE - I had to use a 4k screencap here) -
(NOTE - I had to use a 4k screencap here) -
…and we end on this shot -
…then continue as normal, as we see the remaining rebels in disarray -
…and we end on this shot (NOTE - I had to use a 4k screencap here) -
…then continue as normal, as Vader continues to swipe at the remaining rebels (NOTE - I had to use a 4k screencap here) -

…then transition as normal to a slow zoom-in towards Vader -
…and we end on this shot -
…then CUT to the interior of the TANTIVE IV jumping to hyperspace -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition to the TANTIVE IV stretching momentarily before it disappears (I can’t find exact shot of it) -
…and we end on this shot -
…then transition to a circular ‘iris’ saying Directed by GARETH EDWARDS, as the blue end credits appear.
NOTE - SOME OF THE REBELS STILL HAVE THEIR WEAPONS AFTER VADER HAS ‘FORCE-FLUNG’ THEM AWAY!
