ROGUE ONE: UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF THE ORIGINAL GARETH EDWARDS VISION!

Darth Vader (likely Spencer Wilding) monitors a planet (presumably Scarif) in a deleted scene set on the Death Star, from the original version of Rogue One. A special image released by Hal Hickel/ ILM.

Like a mystery wrapped in an enigma, the original filmed version of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, directed by Brit talent Gareth Edwards, will surely never be released as a historical separate cut in any kind of format, nor is it likely that we ever see any of its many, many deleted/alternate scenes (as was the case with the later revamped film's 2017 home media release and its frustrating lack of major special features content). At least not with the franchise under the ownership of Disney for the foreseeable future. And very little about the first cut, post 2017, has been talked about by cast and crew, either- most likely afraid of breaching Disney's strict, harsh-action-will-be-taken-if-leaked Non Disclosure Agreement contracts.

Thankfully, over the years, lots of information and photos from this intriguing original version of Rogue have filtered through magazines, merchandise and online, however, and Star Wars Aficionado has managed to piece together as much as we can on about that intriguing work and footage originally filmed for the hugely popular first 'Anthology' movie that has now disappeared into Star Wars behind the scenes lore and consigned to posthumous 'What if? thoughts by excited fans. Deleted but abandoned moments of scene-setting, action and character (plus further referencing to the original Star Wars of 1977) that look just as exciting and memorable as any seen with the final version of the movie, as well as any subsequent modern film in the saga under Disney's ownership and creative control...
