In trailers and promotional footage, Jyn and Cassian are seen running through the Imperial base and on the beach on the planet Scarif, with Jyn carrying the data storage device holding the Death Star plans. Like many promo shots, such as Jyn standing in an Imperial hallway without her helmet, and a TIE Fighter rising in front of her on a catwalk at the top of the tower on Scarif, these scenes were not used in the final film, where the data storage device was only ever taken to the top of the tower. According to director Gareth Edwards, some shots were cut when the final act of the film was changed and their characters didn't survive at the end. Originally the transmission tower was located away from the base, requiring the Rebels to run along the beach towards it. Because this sequence was taking too long, it was decided to re-shoot it, with the tower now conveniently located in the same building. During an interview with the Director's Guild, Edwards also admitted that at the end of each shooting day, the cast and crew would frequently have fun with the sets and costumes at their disposal. They ended up shooting footage that looked cool, with no intention of ever using it in the finished movie. However, many of these shots looked so great that they ended up in trailers and promo pictures anyway.
