‘Rogue One’ Fan Edit Makes A Few Changes

While there is very little to gripe about in regards to the box office smashing and critically acclaimed Rogue One, fans always find something to tweak or change. Case in point, Dustin Lee’s fan edit of the first standalone, which adds a scroll up and some classic John Williams music.

Filmmaker Dustin Lee’s Maple Films has posted Rogue One: The Battle of Scarif, a 50-minute edit of the movie that cuts out most of the scenes with Jyn and Cassian’s team that led up to the assault on Scarif. Instead, it starts very late in the story with Director Krennic’s housecall to Darth Vader’s castle and the near dissolution of the Rebel Alliance before Jyn and company took matters into their own hands. This edit also uses the events of Rogue One up to this point as fodder for an opening crawl.
