    Is anyone else reading this Reddit story that claims 20-30 minutes were cut from the first version of the movie, before the reshoot. Some French translator is saying Vader was in several more graphic scenes, and was the cause for Saw's appearance. Wondering if there is any truth to this.

    I don't have any inside info, but that doesn't sound very legit to me.

    That sounds like a tremendous amount of bullsh-- for a multitude of reasons. Yes, they did have scenes of Darth Vader that weren't in the film. Yes, a few of Saw Gerrera's scenes were taken out. But causation does not equate to correlation.

    For one thing, we know that Saw doesn't have his breathing problem at the time of Rebels, which is currently set two years before Rogue One, and there's absolutely no reason that Vader would spare him in a fight. We also know that his last contact with Jyn was when she was 16, which is four years before his first appearance on Rebels. (Word is that his experience on Geonosis, which is where he's apparently set to show up on when Rebels returns, is what causes him to rely on life support.)

    Furthermore, Kathleen Kennedy has always insisted that Darth Vader's role in the movie was going to be small to begin with (as it should, because it's not his story) - so having 20-30 minutes where he shows up cut out of the film is an absurdly tall order. Krennic is the central villain of the movie, and if anything, he probably had more of his scenes cut out.

    Jordan was awesome, but I'm also glad Pinewoods played a part.

    Seems pretty clear from the unused footage that one key element that was changed was the fact that the Jyn Erso, Cassian and the rest of the team went "rogue" to begin with... meaning that they were not sanctioned by the Rebellion leaders. According to what looks like the original version, Mon Mothma tells Jyn Erso "we have a mission for you..." from which there wouldn't have been a "rogue" attempt to steal the Death Star plans, but an explicit "mission" to do so.

    Personally, I'm glad they went the way they did because the fractured Rebellion and dynamics within are much more complex the way we got it...
