During a recent interview he conducted with Fandango, Rogue One director Gareth Edwards spoke about why fans shouldn’t expect to see an assortment of deleted scenes on the film’s upcoming Blu-ray release.

When Fandango sat down with director Gareth Edwards to discuss Rogue One, which arrives on digital platforms like FandangoNOW on March 24 before its Blu-ray release on April 4, we asked whether we’ll ever see that alternate footage, as well as why he decided not to put any deleted scenes on the upcoming Blu-ray. “There’s not an individual scene that you can drag and drop and put on a Blu-ray,” he said. “There are little things that would come and go during the process of post-production, but they’re not scenes. They’re more moments within the scenes, or a single shot. So it’s impossible to be able to do that, and that’s why the decision was made.” “The stuff people talk about, like what they saw in the trailer, they’re not scenes you can just put on a DVD. They’re moments within scenes and threads, and you pull a thread and it all changes. It was changing the whole time. It’s not like there was one version and then there was this other version — it was like this thing that incrementally evolved constantly through all of post-production and didn’t stop until there was a gun at our heads and we were forced to release the movie.”

What about the deleted scene from the film’s third act where Jyn is confronted by a TIE fighter as originally seen in one of the trailers? Will that scene ever be released for fans to enjoy and will the genesis of that shot ever be revealed?

When it comes to the TIE fighter shot, Edwards is remaining quiet about it for now. “Yeah, it’s going to have to remain a myth because it’s sort of the thing where you’re trying ideas out to find the right version of the movie, and at the same time marketing is getting excited about certain shots and moments. Eventually you’ll see something presented to you and you’ll be like, wait a minute, this shot is no longer in the film.”

And finally, what are the odds we’ll see the finished alternate ending of Rogue One where our heroes are rushing across the beaches of Scarif with the Death Star plans in hand trying to avoid heavy blaster fire from approaching AT-ACTs?
