It goes without saying that if you haven’t seen Star Wars: Rogue One then now is the time to punch the back button and retreat somewhere far, far away (or check out the Rogue One concept art then, y’know, go and see it).
Director Gareth Edwards has spoken to Digital Spy about the movie’s first draft and, instead of everyone dying, Jyn and Cassian lived happily ever after. Aww.
Edwards, though, wasn’t happy with it: "Jyn and Cassian survived and we assumed that there was no way on Earth that we would be allowed to kill them off. It didn't feel right – the ideal was that everybody sacrifices themselves.”
Studios normally like making things more crowd-pleasing, but not this time. So if you’re looking for someone to blame for making you cry then blame the House of Mouse. Obviously.
