Perhaps most interesting, a video titled "The Princess and The Governor" reveals how the film used cutting-edge special effects to re-create characters from the very first Star Wars film. We also learn more about Saw Gerrera, a character whose story I found frustratingly vague in the finished movie. While the discs don't offer the material to assemble a different version of the film, they do fill in some of the backstory the film doesn't quite spell out for you - one of my gripes with the movie.įor example, one featurette video gives an insight into the faith of warrior monk Chirrut Îmwe and his slightly different take on the Force. The Blu-ray and DVD of "Rogue One" feature no deleted scenes - not a single one.
Sadly, Disney and Lucasfilm have other ideas. Suffice to say, if ever a film is worth having deleted scenes on the Blu-ray release, it's "Rogue One".
Two, the early trailers heavily showcased shots, scenes and hints at story that disappeared from the finished product. One, Star Wars fans love picking over such stuff. Reshoots are pretty routine in Hollywood, but attention has hotly focused on the what-ifs here for two reasons. The entire ending was extensively reshot, and main character Jyn Erso reshaped during production.
