‘Rogue One’ writer reveals the film could have ended with a wedding

TwitterFacebook

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story took a turbulent journey from page to screen, but we never realized how different things could have been. Screenwriter Chris Weitz revealed that before he joined the project, the story had a happy ending.
