I assume they'll all just look like this in the movie because why not. Then again...

Gareth Edwards directed Rogue One. A key locale in that film is called “Scarif.” Gareth and Scarif sort of rhyme. Mere coincidence? Apparently not. During a talk at SXSW, Edwards explained that he came up with the name of the gorgeous planet where the film’s big battle goes down after a coffee shop employee bastardized the spelling of his own.This all came about, he explained, when writer Gary Whitta, who had been thinking up most of the monikers, tasked Edwards with devising one. Edwards then decided to mull it over with some coffee, and went to a ”particular, very well known” establishment. (We’re going to go ahead and guess Starbucks.) When he got his beverage, he had a Eureka moment. “When they asked for my name I must have said, ’It’s Gareth,’ because they wrote, ’Scarif’ on the coffee,” he said. “I just came back and I slid the coffee cup and I went, ‘It’s Scarif.’”

I want to find the person who thinks strongly enough that "Scarif" is a person's name that they wrote it down on a cup. It's like the Barney/Swarley joke on "How I Met Your Mother" come to life.
― Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 18:08 (seven years ago) link
Surely he must have said "It's Gareth" in a rushed mumble, in response to "and your name?" I mean, I can see how that happens.

but what happened in the filmed ending that was scrapped!!
― 龜, 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.
