ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY

a visual guide to shots not on the final cut [updated: 2019-01-13]

From Official Teaser Trailer:

[Image: rogue-one-12.png?w=1080&h=445&q=75]

1) 00:10 Sections of dialogue spoken by General Draven to Jyn. It is heard in the teaser and first official trailer (some of the dialogue is heard in the theatrical release).

Quote:State your name for the record... Jyn Erso... forgery of Imperial documents, possession of stolen property, aggravated assault, resisting arrest
Can you be trusted without your shackles?

[Image: rogue-one-13.png?w=1080&h=445&q=75]

2) 00:28 - Jyn's famous line heard first in the teaser trailer was cut from the theatrical release

Quote:This is a Rebellion, isn’t it? I rebel!

[Image: rogue-one-15.png?w=1080&h=487&q=75]

3) 00:42 - In the trailer, Mon Mothma tells Jyn her mission involves investigating a “major weapons test” that is “imminent.” In the film, Mon Mothma gives her a different mission: To find Saw Gerrera in the hopes that he can lead them to Jyn’s father, Galen Erso.

4) 1:02 - This shot isn’t in the movie.

5) 1:12 - These shots of Jyn and Cassian running through the Imperial base aren’t in the film (in the film, they’re disguised as Imperial officers inside the base).

[img=0x0]https://townsquare.media/site/442/files/2016/12/rogue-one-2.png?w=1080&h=458&q=75[/img]

[Image: rogue-one-3.png?w=1080&h=454&q=75]

6) 1:17 - This shot of Orson Krennic walking through the watery ruins of the Battle of Scarif doesn’t appear in the film. (Krennic never leaves the Scarif base, in fact. Plus, the entire battle takes place in broad daylight, and this scene is at sunset.)

[Image: rogue-one-4.png?w=1080&h=449&q=75]

7) 1:19 - Throughout the teaser, we hear Forest Whitaker’s Saw Gerrera. In this shot, we see a young Saw is the one delivering this voiceover:

Quote:What will you do when they catch you? What will you do if they break you? If you continue to fight, what will you become?

Except the young Saw only appears in Rogue One in the film’s brief prologue, where he rescues Jyn from Krennic and his Deathtroopers. When the movie finds him again, Saw is a broken-down fighter with a huge tuft of gray hair.

8) 1:22 - One of the longest shots in the Rogue One teaser follows Jyn and Cassian running with Rebel forces on a Scarif beach amidst heavy blaster fire from AT-ATs. Except Jyn and Cassian never run with Rebel forces on a Scarif beach; they spend the entire battle inside the base while the rest of the Rogue One squad distract the Imperial army. (This is probably the most important change on this entire list. It seems to suggest that Jyn and Cassian previously attempted to hand-deliver the Death Star plans. In the movie, they never make it off the planet. In the original cut, did they escape? Is it possible Jyn or Cassian survived previous iterations of Rogue One?)

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-WHAT-WIL...BECOME.jpg]

9) 1:28 - The teaser ends with a dramatic reveal of Jyn in an Imperial uniform, looking down a hallway in the Scarif base. The shot appeared in several trailers and TV spots.

From official Trailer #1

(image missing)
10) 0:45 - Cassian says “I’ve been recruiting for the Rebellion for a long time.” Has he? He doesn’t say that in the movie, and we don’t see him recruit anyone. In the film, he’s a ruthless spy sent on missions that sometimes blur the line between right and wrong.

[Image: rogue-one-14.png?w=1080&h=451&q=75]

11) This shot of X-Wing pilots being paraded through the streets of Jedha got cut too.

[Image: rogue-one-7.png?w=1080&h=451&q=75]

12) 1:02 - K-2SO says to Jyn

Quote:K-2SO: The Captain says you are a friend. I will not kill you.
Jyn: Thanks.

None of this appears in Rogue One. (And by the time this scene occurs in the film, Jyn and K-2SO have already met.)

13) 1:45 - In the trailer, Jyn walks out on a catwalk above the Scarif Imperial Base and is confronted by a TIE fighter. In Rogue One, Jyn walks out on that catwalk to realign a satellite dish to transmit the Death Star plans. But no TIE fighter ever zooms up into view like this.

[img=0x0]https://townsquare.media/site/442/files/2016/12/rogue-one-8.png?w=1080&h=447&q=75[/img]

[Image: rogue-one-9.png?w=1080&h=451&q=75]

14) 1:52 - The words “A Star Wars Story” don’t appear onscreen in the film, which only bears the title “Rogue One.”

[Image: rogue-one-10.png?w=1080&h=457&q=75]

15) 1:56 - This shot of Darth Vader doesn’t appear in the movie.

From official Trailer #2

[Image: Screen-Shot-2016-12-15-at-4.02.12-PM.png...h=456&q=75]

16) 0:41 - This dramatic shot of a massive fallen statue doesn’t appear in the movie. (A different angle appears instead.)

[Image: Screen-Shot-2016-12-16-at-10.19.32-AM.pn...h=424&q=75]

17) 1:15 - This shot of Vader’s reflection doesn’t appear in the movie.

[Image: rogue-one-11.png?w=1080&h=444&q=75]

18) 1:16 - This line from Krennic

Quote:The power we are dealing with here is immeasurable!

(not to mention Ben Mendelsohn’s wonderful delivery of the word “POW-wah”) didn’t make the final cut.

From other trailers, teaser, featurettes (if someone could identify which ones, it will be great!)

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-IS-THAT-CLEAR.jpg]

19) Dialogue exchange between General Draven and Jyn that was cut. It is heard in the teaser trailer.

Quote:General Draven: Is that clear?
Jyn: Yes Sir.

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-ALT-DEATH-STAR.jpg]

20) This shot of the Death Star is not featured like this. But from another perspective (Tarkin).

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-HEADLESS.jpg]

21) This scene does take place, but not with this camera angle. Note: the hidden character is headless...

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-SAW-GERRERA-BOLD.jpg]

22) Other shot of Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera with no hair and not gray beard.

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-JINN-IN-THE-COCKPIT.jpg]

23) This shot exists. But is mirrored and she it talking to K-2SO, not Cassian Andor.

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-BLACK-TROOPERS.jpg]

24) This shot of deathtroopers is not featured in the movie.

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-CALL-SIGN.jpg]

25) The following line from K-2S0 is not in the movie:

Quote:They're requesting a call sign

[Image: Rogue-One-shot-not-in-the-movie-MIRRORED-SHOT.jpg]

26) This shot from the trailer is mirrored. They're running from left to the right.

27) Jyn and Cassian escaping the radar tower in Scarif with the plans to the Death Star in hand

28) Imperial Stormtroopers marching through the water of Scarif

29) In the behind-the-scenes sizzle reel, we see Jyn, again with Death Star plans in hand, running through the beach turned war zone. Cassian can also be seen in the frame.

30) Even TV spots from 10 days before release feature shots of Jyn with the Death Star plans on the beach.

31) During this clip you can barely make out Alan Tudyk in the background running in his motion capture suit, confirming that K-2SO was still alive as Jyn and Cassian stormed the beach with the Death Star plans.

32) Jyn with Death Star plans in hand.

33) This image of Krennic hints at a showdown that never happened. He does grab a weapon and go after Jyn and Cassian in the final film, but this particular moment never happened.

34) Baze on Eadu saying:

Quote:I fight the Empire now...
You destroyed our home!

35) This scene where the Rebellion high command looks at a projection of the Death Star also made it into the trailer, but never into the film. This makes sense, since the mission in the movie is to have Jyn find her father, not just the weapon, and the rest of the film is retrieving the plans. While I guess they could have had everyone just trying to find out what’s depicted in the projection, having no shots of it works even better.

36) Jyn talking to Saw in his cave. The scene appears in the theatrical release, but these pieces of dialogue said by Jyn have been cut. They are taken from the special extended look and leaked celebration trailer

Quote:The Empire is building a terrible weapon, capable of destroying an entire planet
There isn't much time. Everyday, we grow weaker. While they grow stronger. This is our chance, to make a real difference.

37) Mon Mothma talking to Jyn about her troubled history. The dialogue was heard in the first teaser, but was not in the final scene. On your own from the age of fifteen

Quote:reckless, aggressive, and undisciplined.

38) Extended Saw Gerrera dialogue that was cut from the full conversation between him and Jyn. It is heard in the first official trailer.

Quote:The world, is coming undone...

40) Jyn dialogue - directed towards General Draven

Quote:Let's just get this over with, shall we?

41) Mon Mothma - important dialogue. The dialogue was first heard in the teaser trailer.

Quote:We have intercepted a coded-Imperial transmission. It indicates that a major weapons test is imminent. We need to know what it is, and how to destroy it.

42) Jyn talking to Chirrut featured a line heard in several TV spots

Quote:Are you with me?

43) From the official trailer

Quote:Cassian: If you're really doing this, I want to help.
Jyn: Then let's go.

44) It appears that Jan Dodonna had a bigger role in early cuts of the film as we see him talking to Jyn in the same spot Mon Mothma consulted Jyn.

45) A minor shot that was cut from the theatrical release showed us a glimpse of rebel crew in the same position others had in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

46) Chirrut had dialogue in the moments before Jyn, Casssian and the rebel crew prepared for battle

Quote:Take hold of this moment, the Force is strong.

47) Jyn also has extended dialogue in the conversation between her and Cassian while discussing her possession of the blaster on the U-Wing. She says:

Quote:We'll need a team.

48) This shot with Baze was cut

49) ...as well as this one.

50) There is a shot of Chirrut that was cut from the theatrical release but appeared in several trailers

51) The Rebellion is huddled together having a discussion of some sort with General Draven, Jan Dodonna, and Senator Jebel in the center. The scene never appeared in the final cut.

52) A shot of Krennic approaching Imperial officers appeared in the IMAX TV spot but was cut.

53) The little girl who Jyn rescues on Jedha appears to be looking up at the Death Star firing Jedha City straight down. The shot was cut.

54) A shot of Jyn that never appeared in the theatrical release (alternate wide shot)

55) As Jyn, Cassian, K2, Chirrut, Baze and Bodhi flee Jedha during its destruction, Jyn screams to Cassian

Quote:GO, GO, GO!

56) Mon Mothma dialogue from the second official trailer

Quote:Our Rebellion, is all that remains to push back the Empire.

57) Mon Mothma says to Jyn in the theatrical release of the film; "I'm sorry, Jyn. The odds are too great." Jyn then proceeds to leave. But right after Mothma says the odds are too great, she is heard saying in TV spot 23:

Quote:We need to surrender.

The line was cut.

58) a cut line heard first in the official Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Featurette where Jyn Erso says:

Quote:Anyone not willing to risk being left behind, now is your chance to speak up.

59) Extended Jyn Erso dialogue; while she has her rally speech in the conference room scene, there is unheard dialogue that was cut but heard in a few TV spots:

Quote:...but there's a way to defeat it [Death Star]. We need to capture the plans.

60) Jyn has several alternative pieces of dialogue in the U-Wing scene with Cassian, here is a cut line:

Quote:We need to find a way to defeat it.

61) ...and another one:

Quote:We can stop them.

Another set of alternate lines from the same scene that were cut:

Quote:If my father is a key to destroying a terrible weapon, then we'll find him... And bring him back

Quote:If my father built this thing, then we'll need to find him... And bring him back

62) In the second official trailer, the back of Tarkin's head is seen as he approaches Krennic and a group of other Imperial officers.

63) An unseen shot of Krennic while he invades the Erso family.

64) Mon Mothma dialogue from the first teaser trailer -- "We have a mission for you..."

65) Jyn asks

Quote:So why me?

during her conversation with Mon Mothma and Cassian. The line was cut.

Additional minor shots and dialogue (will get a "number" when related images will be found)

From the leaked celebration trailer -- two shots about a second each were cut from the theatrical release; In the first shot, there is an unseen camera angle of Jyn running from her father and mother in the flashback scene. The theatrical release does include shots of Jyn running from her parents, but different ones. In the second shot, Jyn is on Jedha City with Cassian and turns around to see an Imperial Assault Hovertank.
Right before Jyn, Cassian and the rebel crew board the stolen Imperial shuttle on Yavin IV, Jyn says to the team; "Welcome to the Rebellion, soilders."
Jyn and Cassian pilot a U-Wing in the official trailer. They both exchange dialogue saying "good" to each other.
Jyn had an alternate line replacing "May the Force be with us" while speaking to the rebel crew before leaving for Scarif. She said; "Welcome to Rogue One."
One of the many lines that was cut due to the reshoots was in her meeting with Mon Mothma; "I was trained to fight, not to stand down."
A line heard in the TV Spot Together had Jyn saying; "I need your help."
Cassian dialogue from the official trailer that was cut -- "I've been recruiting for the Rebellion for a long time."
In a shot heavily featured throughout the trailers and TV spots, Death Troopers are seen firing at a specific target.
From official trailer -- After Kaytoo says, "There is a ninety-seven point six-percent chance of failure," Cassian says, "He means well."
The scene where Bodhi is asked for a call sign may have played out slightly differently as we can see in several TV spots that he is telling Jyn; "You might want to, strap in."

As Jyn walks across the bridge to adjust the dish in order to transmit the plans on Scarif, she is stopped as a TIE-fighter approaches in front of her. The scene was altered in post-production due to repetitive action from the scene prior.
Cassian says to Jyn in an unidentified scene, "We'll follow your lead." The line was cut but is heard in the second international trailer.
The flashback scene played out differently in some areas, as the eight year old Jyn is heard screaming, "FATHER!" in the second international trailer.
Jyn is heard saying in the third international trailer, "It could be the end of us all."
Chirrut speaks to an unidentified individual saying the following, "Our tasks have become one." This line first heard in the fourth international trailer was cut from the final film.
Baze speaks to Jyn in the fourth international trailer and says, "I go where he goes."

Story element changes due to reshoots

The entire battle of Scarif played out very differently from what seen in the final cut. Originally, Jyn and Cassian escaped as a team with the rest of the rebels across the beach while physically holding the Death Star plans. And based on the trailers, TV spots, featurettes and other promotional material, the battle was to take place during the evening. With the group of rebels (including Baze and Chirrut) having a small role, the original cut had much more screen time with them as there a variety of shots that indicate this.

In the theatrical release of Rogue One, Jyn is seen rescuing a little girl who lost her mother on Jedha City. In the celebration reel, it appears that she meets the young girl earlier when she is seen giving the child a red object. The scene could have played out in a variety of ways as it could have been minor as a deleted scene, or possibly vital to the rest of the action seen on Jedha City.
In the first cut of Rogue One, it can be assumed that Saw was never meant to have hair as we can see an adult Jyn standing next to him while he is bald in the celebration reel at 1 minute and 59 seconds. It is unknown why the decision was taken to make Saw have grey hair.
Eight seconds in to the Jyn Erso Featurette, Jyn and Andor are seen walking on the outskirts of Jedha with a group of camels and other individuals.

From TV spots - they could not be considered "canon" by many, but are officially licenced nevertheless

ROGUE ONE - 46 SHOTS NOT IN THE FINAL FILM from Vashi Nedomansky on Vimeo

NOTES

There are A LOT of bits&pieces in A LOT of places like teasers, trailers, featurettes etc. I’ll try to gather them all, but it will be a quite hard task… any help is appreciate, just post a comment with the missing shot description and eventual dialog, a picture (640px wide or more, with cropped black bars if any), and the source (possibly the exact trailer/teaser name/number).
If a scene is found on multiple sources, I’ll note only the best one, or, if quality is the same, the most easy to find.

Updates:

2019-01-08 original post
2019-01-13 added a lot of links to youtube videos, thanks to oojason from OT
2019-01-14 replaced three broken links, thanks to BandobrasTuk from OT

To do list:

Place the scenes in chronological order (now are in random order)
Add eventual new scenes, in particular the ones found on documentaries, specials etc.
Find a way to give each scene/shot an unique ID - like DVD001, BDR001 etc. - that will be used as reference.

I hate the movie, but I respect the amount of OCD that went into this post. Wrote you a little PM, hoping it will be of help.

Thanks, you are always very helpful!

Dunno... don't think the movie is a masterpiece, yet I liked it quite much; indeed, without the reshoots, it *could* have been better. Scarif battle is very dynamic, and you should like it, despite the relative boring first part.

Oh, why they haven't released proper deleted scenes, as any others? Happy

It's Disney, it seems they never really do that. Same with Solo. Or even old stuff like "The Watcher in the Woods", which never got released in the original version. In fact, a company tried to compile the original one for a DVD and Disney actively stopped them. Very sad.

Though other companies do that too on occasion. For example Mission Impossible Fallout was a very big disappointment in terms of deleted scenes for me (only got a shitty collage of some shots with no context and no audio).

the TIE fighter facing off with Jyn shot. That shot was created especially for the trailer.

interview with director Gareth Edwards confirmed that. Will try and fish it out

That's not the story I heard: the TIE was gonna be shot by a X-Wing at the last second to save Jyn, which was too repetitive with the X-Wing shooting at the AT-AT saving the lives on the ground that failed to blast it with the rocket launcher.

If a certain shot was intended to be in the movie or not it's not the purpose of the thread; it's to find out ANY single shot that was not in the movie (or in the movie was cut).

First, for completeness sake - my fault! Big Grin

Second, if someone would like to add some of those bits&pieces back, it will result in a nice fan edit. Even if, summing up all of them, maybe just one or two minutes could be added - but it would be great if I am wrong, and would end up in a greater time!
