"We did have multiple, multiple ways of going at any given scenario, we had multiple readings of it," Mendelsohn told Collider. "So should they ever decide to, there would be a wealth of ways of approaching these different things. And I know from having seen sort of the crucial kind of scenes throughout it, I know there’s vastly different readings of at least four of those scenes.
He continued that there are “enormous differences within, I would’ve said 20 or 30 of the scenes. There really would be. There would be enormously different renderings.”
And that is not at all hard to believe, especially when the first trailer are compared to the final product.

All we can hope at this point is that everything, including the galactic kitchen sink, will be thrown at the home disks.

Here is an idea, make the blu ray of it play in a mode that picks a random story line with different scenes in it, that way you could watch a different movie each time you watch it, could be an interesting experiment~
That is an interesting idea.
Or how about software that lets us review all the footage and edit it into our own version of the film.
Gimli versus the Dalek
I would like Blu-ray with selectable ratings. It would be nice to watch without keeping the remote close at hand. Plus, the director would retain control of the editing.
I’ve seen enough “Director’s Cut” movies to conclude that the director should not be allowed anywhere near the editing room.
Absolutely. Directors cut equals way to re-release for more money. The worst is director’s cut of Apocalypse Now which gets 4 undeserved stars and ruins a great movie.
Here’s a short video that shows scenes from the trailers that NEVER ENDED UP IN THE MOVIE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8id3iVTrn0
This means that Disney’s claims in the summer that the re-shoots were just standard improvements and not major re-writes were a complete lie.
I guess at least edited versions that at least splice well. Lol
Maybe a better one with a happy ending?
Just a better crafted movie in general and better crafted final act in particular. What ended up being released looks like they slapped it together over a weekend.
Everybody dying is not a happy ending.
Who green lit that story!
I don’t mind that they all die.
For one thing, the film didn’t give the viewer enough substance to develop an idea of who the characters were or to form attachments to them. (Sole exception being the protagonist, but even her back story could have used more fleshing out.) I say axe the attempted rescue of the father and use that time for enhanced character development, The end result would be less frenetic, and more emotionally compelling.
Beyond that though, espionage, sabotage, assassination is dangerous work. It doesn’t hurt to let an American audience see that sometimes even the good guys don’t survive those kinds of missions.
By the end of the movie, I didn’t even care.
The fact that they all died is the only redeeming thing about the movie. It was a suicide mission and that is what set it apart.
By the end of the movie, I didn’t even care.
Maybe you saw a different cut than we did in San Antonio last night.
Toward the end you could sobbing in the audience (not me. I have allergies. That’s what caused my sniffling.) and then loud applause at that certain scene at the very end.
Then when the credits rolled, there was standing applause. Not standing and leaving the theater applause, but ‘standing through the credit’s applause’, probably 3/4 of the packed theater.
Last time I saw this was Independence Day in ‘96.
My wife and I agreed that we enjoyed this one more than any other SW movie since A New Hope, or just Star Wars, as we knew it at the time.
Then out in the parking lot our son called and told us Debbie Reynolds had died. That was a real downer.
We already know this and that version was so bad Disney made the director reshoot large sections of the movie last year.
It had to have been pretty bad to be worse than the one they released.
