10 Unused Star Wars Scenes That Would Have Changed Everything

10. Director Krennic's Alternative Demise

Orson Krennic is one of the finest villains in the whole Star Wars series, an odious rear-echelon bureaucrat who serves as Rogue One's antagonist. His end is a fitting one, when his is obliterated along with a sizable chunk of the planet Scaris in a Death Star test firing/scorched earth operation authorised by Grand Moff Tarkin.

But that wasn't the original fate the filmmakers had in mind for Director Krennic. In an unused scene, Krennic escaped the surface of Scarif and returned to the Death Star only to encounter Darth Vader, who promptly throttled him with the power of the Force for failing so spectacularly to defend the secrets of the Empire's superweapon.

In the end it was decided Krennic's escape from the fiery apocalypse of Scarif was too unlikely, and robbed him of the ironic death via the lasery armageddon of the weapon he oversaw. But then, sadly, it also robbed the audience of another iconic Vader moment.
