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

8. "I Rebel!"

It's astonishing to note just how much of this axed footage comes from the very first teaser trailer. It's clear that the movie endured a number of significant changes during the post-production process, and perhaps those high-profile reshoots were more vital than Disney would like to admit.

This quick moment is no different, either - it comes directly from that very first Rogue One teaser. Jyn's line - taken from the briefing scene a short way into the movie - "This is a rebellion isn't it? I rebel!" is nowhere to be found in the movie.

Of course, the scene worked well without it, and perhaps it was wise to not have Jyn come across as too arrogant and self-righteous, but the proposition of getting more emotion and drive out of her (since the character did feel a little bland at times) is a tantalising one.
