I've been "Fill," which is technically correct (the best kind of correct) and also "Bill."

"Fill" is a+

Especially written on the side of a cup that's handed from cashier to barista

"That's what I do with all of them, why are you being a dick?"

http://ew.com/movies/2017/03/20/rogue-one-alternate-ending-revealed/

but what happened in the filmed ending that was scrapped!!

, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 14:31 (seven years ago) link

they keep hedging but I think the implication is they didn't cut full scenes

so there's maybe a minute of dialogue between characters, and a half dozen takes of people jumping in and out of ships, and a hundred takes of people running on beaches from different angles, but nothing edited together

tbh holding off until Beach Runner Edition

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 14:34 (seven years ago) link

xpost - They had a game of beach volleyball, shirts vs. droids.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 14:34 (seven years ago) link

just imagining them doing multiple takes

"I can't believe you almost left me back there!"
"I can't believe you left me back there!"
"I'm glad you came back!"
"I'm glad you went to pick up a TIE fighter before coming back"
"Why didn't you bring a ship?"

then just figure out the best plot in editing

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 14:36 (seven years ago) link

Maybe most of the takes are them running along the beach singing like the Smurfs.

Rewatched "Rogue One" last night and yeah I love this film. However, there's a planet called Yobani. Someone was eating yogurt (Chobani) in the writing process.

Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 01:04 (seven years ago) link

It was originally called Yanni-Yanni-Yobani-Banana-Fana-Fobani

No it's because Bomani Jones was also at the coffee shop

They originally planned on "Yomami" but then got the side eye from Jimmy Smits.

3) The Blue Carbuncle

"We had considered for the final act scripting a loose adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in which Darth Vader would be the Holmes character. Unlike the Holmes story, the "carbuncle" in this case (the plans) would not be discovered immediately, but Vader would engage in a similar search through the immediate planetary system. However, similar to the ending of the story, Vader would let Jyn and Cassian go free, arguing to Grand Moff Tarkin that imprisoning them would only radicalize them further. Their absence from subsequent films would actually prove Vader correct."

I knew

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 16:36 (seven years ago) link

Reading between the lines here, I'm pretty certain neither of those endings ever existed outside his head.

4) Step Up to the Empire

"We had several fantastic dance battles choreographed by Stephen "tWitch" Boss that we were really sorry to see hit the cutting room floor. Hopefully we can repurpose some of them as interludes in the Young Han Solo movie."

Rachel Luther Queen (DJP), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 16:54 (seven years ago) link

5) Empire

"They're all Queensryche fans and--"

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 16:55 (seven years ago) link

6) "Initially we had written a script that would be the first of a new, separate trilogy. Rogue One was about who and why? The sequel would be getting closer to who designed The Death Star and for what reason. The third film would have a five army battle and also a giant space bear."

nomar, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 17:00 (seven years ago) link

I'm sure some talented new canon novelists are already working out the details of how Jyn and Cassian were saved just before the shockwave hit.

jmm, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 17:00 (seven years ago) link

Star Trek crossover, they get transported to the Enterprise at the last second

Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 17:03 (seven years ago) link

Here. I'm...still thinking. Any moment, I won't be.

That moment continued to fade into eternity as time continued on. She could still herself embracing him as he was embracing her. She kept her eyes closed. She wanted her last sight to be of the one who she had recently accepted as a close ally...a friend. She had never had one as a child. She was not letting go of this one, even while accepting the death about to bury them.

She could feel the wind rush past her. Soon, rubble would cover her and her friend.

It never happened.

The wind, the rumbling of the ground they were kneeling on, the chaos around them faded into oblivion.

Jyn feared to open her eyes. What if she opened her eyes only for them to be clouded by dust and fear?

"Jyn." Cassian rested his hand on her shoulders. "We're alive! Open your eyes."

His voice was sincere just as it had been during their rogue mission. She trusted him. She opened her eyes to see that he had been crying tears of both joy and fear. "Jyn, how....we can't be alive but you're here and I'm here."

Jyn could feel herself shaking as she looked from his face to see the world around them obliterated into an indistinguishable landscape of rubble...except for the ground that both her and Cassian had been kneeling on.

She looked over Cassian. "You aren't hurt."

"No. Are you?"

"No. I'm just shaking. I-I feel-"

"It's probably shock. I feel lightheaded, probably because I'm in shock as well." Cassian took another glance at the ruined world around them. "I would be more worried if you and I were not in shock. We should not have survived something like this. I..." He repositioned himself to sitting with his legs crossed as he lowered his head and put his hands behind his head, interlacing his fingers in an attempt to help the blood flow into his brain to ease his dizziness.

"Cassian?" Jyn gently rested her hand on his knee.

"I just need a moment to...collect myself."

"Okay." Jyn also sat like Cassian with her legs crossed. However, she didn't lower her head. She didn't need to. Her shaking had stopped. Her breathing was normal. Her mind was clear. She felt at peace.

What...is this? She could feel something inside her. Something wild yet calm. Excitement yet tranquility. I'm not happy or sad. I'm both. But I don't feel either one of them as its own. It's almost as if something is with me.

"You are one with the Force. The Force is with you."

The voice in her mind had been Chirrut's prayer except his voice had directed the prayer towards her.

From that moment she knew.

She knew that Chirrut was no longer among the living. She knew everyone else in Rogue One was gone except Cassian. As a tear rolled down her face she also knew what her mother had been, long before she came to be. She reached into shirt and pulled out her mother's necklace that bore the white Kyber crystal. She grasped it in her hands as she could faintly feel her mother's presence come close to her and gently place a kiss on her forehead.

"I am one with the Force."

Cassian slowly rose his head with eyes wide in realization of how they both managed to survive certain death. His eyes saw Jyn's eyes full of tears as she sincerely accepted her new journey.

"The Force is with me."

7) Well, everyone knows many Bothans died to bring us this information. What this movie presupposes is... maybe they didn't.

"See, he was Han Duo, then there was an accident. And before that he was 4 Han."

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:11 (seven years ago) link

young Han was in an a capella group but always insisted on singing a fourth below the root bass note at the end of every song

No, I figured he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Solo, thanks

yes cos in Star Wars movies he is known for travelling alone. we will learn that Chewbacca is actually a figment of his imagination.
