I feel like I missed several somethings – not just one!
I enjoyed seeing Rogue
One: A Star Wars Story in the theatre. There was a lot to enjoy, action
all the way, and the story bridged nicely between Revenge of the Sith and A New
Hope.
However …
I watched the trailers in the morning, before seeing the
movie, and I wish I hadn’t. The trailers set me up for disappointment, because
there were a number of scenes that weren’t in the version of the movie I
watched.
I don’t know if it was because of reshoots due to alterations in the
story, or the footage was created specifically for the trailer only. Hopefully,
they will turn up later in a Director’s Cut / Special Edition version.
Whatever
the reason, it was annoying to watch the movie, waiting for moments that never
came.
Unless I fell asleep for ten seconds and missed it, I didn’t see the verbal exchange between the droid, K-2SO, voiced by Alan Tudyk, and Jyn Erso, played by Felicity Jones.
K-2SO:
“The Captain says you are a friend. I will not
kill you.”
Jyn Erso:
“Thanks!”
Or Jyn
Erso and Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna, in the midst of the battle, running
along the beach.
The scene I was looking forward to most was Jyn Erso striding resolutely across the walkway to the Communications Tower, when an Imperial TIE
fighter looms menacingly into view. This would have been amazing to see on the
cinema screen.
However ... it didn't happen – there was no TIE fighter in the scene!

I know trailers are created to advertise and
sell the movie …
but I don’t agree with selling something they are not
going to deliver.
