Collider is back with another interview dedicated to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In this exclusive, actor Ben Mendelsohn drops some interesting details about the time he spent working on the film. Read on for more details.

Two weeks ago the highly anticipated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story film was released to cinemas all over the galaxy, telling a story of a band of Rebels that steal the plans to the ultimate power in the universe, the Death Star. Collider.com got the chance to chat with one of the stars of the film –Ben Medelsohn, about landing the role of the evil director Krennic, the man who attempts to foil the Rebels plot, and “how they would shoot different versions of the same scene to give Gareth Edwards choices in the editing room”.

Check out what he had to say below!

COLLIDER: I’m curious, from what he (Gareth Edwards) told you that day to what people are seeing on screen, is it very similar to what he pitched you?

MENDELSOHN: In terms of the overall swoop, yeah, very much. I think that Krennic developed sort of along as we went, he had different ideas. And he settled yet on exactly –He was still thinking of a couple of variations in a lot of things at that stage. If you want to talk about alternative takes on things, there’s been quite a few different renderings of this within Gareth’s mind, and I dare say some of it’s been captured on film. So there are different renderings.

COLLIDER: I heard from a lot of the people I’ve spoken to –and I could be wrong– that when you shot it they would sort of play it multiple ways on set, so that way in the editing room…

MENDELSOHN: Yep, absolutely, very much. We did have multiple, multiple ways of going at any given scenario, we had multiple readings of it. So should they ever decided to, there would be a wealth of ways of approaching these different things. And I know from having seen sort of the crucial kind of scenes throughout it, I know there’s vastly different readings of at least four of those scenes.

COLLIDER: So in essence there’s basically a completely different version of the movie that could be played on like an alternate cut of the entire film.

MENDELSOHN: Absolutely, with enormous differences within I would’ve said 20 or 30 of the scenes.

COLLIDER:That’s crazy.

MENDELSOHN: There really would be. There would be enormously different renderings.
