According
to
the
director
Gareth
Edwards,
Rogue
One
was
originally
structured
to
have
a
very
different
ending
than
what
we
have
now.
The
director
Gareth
Edwards
revealed
this
information
while
talking
in
an
interview
and
also
said
that
going
with
the
ending
formerly
scripted
for
the
movie
would
have
given
the
movie
a
different
meaning
altogether.
"The
very
first
version,
they
didn't.
In
the
screenplay.
And
it
was
just
assumed
by
us
that
we
couldn't
do
that.
'They're
not
going
to
let
us
do
that.'
So
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
how
this
ends
where
that
doesn't
happen," said
the
director.
"And
then
everyone
read
that
and
there
was
this
feeling
of
like,
'They've
got
to
die,
right?'
And
everyone
was
like,
'Yeah,
can
we?'" He
added.
Gareth
continued
saying,
"We
thought
we
weren't
going
to
be
allowed
to
but
Kathy
[Kennedy,
President
of
Lucasfilm]
and
everyone
at
Disney
were
like
'Yeah
it
makes
sense/I
guess
they
have
to
because
they're
not
in
A
New
Hope.'
And
so
from
that
point
on
we
had
the
license."
"I
kept
waiting
for
someone
to
go,
'You
know
what?
Could
we
just
film
an
extra
scene
where
we
see
Jyn
and
Cassian,
they're
okay
and
they're
on
another
planet?'
And
it
never
came.
No
one
ever
gave
us
that
note,
so
we
got
to
do
it." He
stated
further.
