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.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
