Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em><\/strong> is probably the most well-regarded of the new crop of Star Wars<\/em> movies<\/a>, and yet considering the great amount of studio meddling<\/a> that went into the finished product, it\u2019s also the one that most deserves a Director\u2019s Cut. Even for someone who hasn’t seen\u00a0Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0they’ve likely heard the rumors and seen the proof. The journey towards the final product\u00a0fans got in this movie was anything but straight. Gareth Edwards had a vision, and that vision wasn\u2019t fully realized because Disney brought in writer and director Tony Gilroy to \u201ctighten up the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

The extent of that interference is up in the air, as reports mainly indicate that Disney executives weren\u2019t \u201cfully satisfied with the first cut of the film\u201d and ordered reshoots, but for Disney to make the decision in the first place, implies there was a significant amount they felt needed to be changed. And the result might have left them feeling like it was all worth it, and interference was the way to go.<\/p>\n

As previously mentioned, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em> is probably the best Star Wars<\/em> movie<\/a> Disney has produced, and a box office success, as well, making 1$ billion in the box office. This, however, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a great movie, it just means there\u2019s little in the way of competition<\/a>. Whatever the sequel trilogy might have been, or what each movie is individually, is now hard to separate from how much it failed collectively<\/a>, and no one\u2019s going to argue Solo: A Star Wars Story <\/em>deserves the number one spot, so Rogue One: A Star Wars Stor<\/em>y basically wins this argument by elimination.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

An important note to make here: this entire narrative might be different if Solo: A Star Wars Story\u00a0<\/em>was allowed to be what it was promised to be when Disney hired Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, two comedic writers who, according to reports, wanted to give the movie a Guardians of the Galaxy <\/em>vibe<\/a> that would have broken all previous Star Wars<\/em> stereotypes and made the movie truly stand out.<\/p>\n

Except interference worked well in the case of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em> \u2013 or at least it paid off box office-wise \u2013 so the world never got to see the cut of Solo: A Star Wars Story <\/em>that was promised. Just as it never truly got to see the vision of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em> be fully realized. The movie Gareth Edwards planned to make has a really good setup: a heist story revolving around the Rebel spies<\/a> who stole the Death Star plans. This works for many reasons \u2013 it\u2019s a new storyline, but with enough ties to the original trilogy to hook fans, and heist stories are fun, plain and simple.<\/p>\n

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em> didn\u2019t live up to the possibilities, or the hype, however. The movie\u2019s problems are numerous: the story suffers from clunky exposition, underdeveloped characters who never quite manage to reach the emotional heights that were promised, and an ending that feels dark just for the sake of being dark \u2013 and not for plot reasons. Much like The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>, it\u2019s a fun movie that works best when you don\u2019t think about why anyone\u2019s doing anything, or why they\u2019re doing it the way they\u2019re doing it, and just go with the flow.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

But much like the last movie in the sequel trilogy, there\u2019s enough in what\u00a0audiences saw \u2013 and in the case of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em>, in what\u00a0they got in the trailer that didn\u2019t make the final cut of the movie \u2013 to imagine the possibility of a really good movie, one that would have been more than merely fun. Just as there are clearly characters that Disney and fans alike<\/a> would like to see more of, as the Star Wars: Andor spinoff<\/a> proves.<\/p>\n

The promise of Star Wars<\/em> was always about so much more than just fun, though, and so was the original trilogy. There, despite the issues, there was a clearly defined plot, and most importantly, fully developed characters that you wanted to follow on each adventure, characters\u00a0fans wanted to win. And yes, characters they\u00a0wanted to see lose.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s no way to be sure that Gareth Edwards vision was better than the finished product \u2013 Disney clearly didn\u2019t think so. But, since the Justice League<\/em> vs. Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League<\/em><\/a> argument has renewed cries of artistic integrity versus big studio control, if there\u2019s one movie in the Star Wars<\/em> universe that probably deserves a director\u2019s cut, it\u2019s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0Fans\u00a0might like it less,\u00a0or they might like it more, but in the end, that\u2019s not really what this is about. And, to be honest, the bar isn\u2019t exactly set very high.<\/p>\n
