10 Intriguing Star Wars Rogue One Trailer Moments That Weren't In The Movie

One slightly annoying fact that modern movie fans have to come to terms with is that footage making it into the trailers, but failing to make that final jump into the film, is all but inevitable given the way the movie industry operates.

Most big blockbusters are shot over a year in advance with reshoots now a basic part of any production schedule, so changes, from big to small, are to be expected across the board.

And often, that means we lose a particularly good-looking shot, or a scene that looks especially tantalising. Rogue One, Disney and Lucasfilm's epic Star Wars prequel story, is no exception to that rule either, and its trailers are jam-packed with moments that either featured in the film in part, or didn't feature at all.

And so, we've picked out several of the biggest and best, and provided some speculative notes regarding why each was cut, and how they could've changed the final cut of the film.

Here are ten intriguing Rogue One trailer moments that never made it into the movie...

Each main Rogue One trailer - from the initial teaser released in April all the way up to the third, full-length appetiser, released in October - has ended with the film's logo and title, which reads 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story'.

But upon sitting down and watching the movie in full, that subtitle is nowhere to be found. The film begins with the Lucasfilm logo, the 'galaxy far, far away' line, and cuts to a shot of space before flowing right into the scene between Galen and Krennic, outside Jyn's family home.

It's only when this sequence concludes that the title finally reveals itself, floating through a starfield in classic Star Wars fashion: 'Rogue One', with nary a 'Star Wars' in sight.

It's a curious omission considering the longer title has featured on the film's posters and trailers, but perhaps this is indicative of the way Disney approached Rogue One's marketing; including the Star Wars subtitle in the trailers informs the general public that this is Star Wars, when they otherwise might not have known.

It was a clever way to get more bums in seats, and given last weekend's box-office figures, it certainly worked.
