Did I miss something?

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.
