Gareth Edwards’ Style Was Different From Other Star Wars Directors

Via Screenrant.com:

According to Star Wars veteran Warwick Davis, Rogue One director Gareth Edwards took a different approach to capturing the action compared to other directors that have worked on the franchise. After making his big screen debut as Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi, Davis would go on to carve out an impressive career in film and television that includes WillowLeprechaunHarry PotterLife’s Too Short and Doctor Who. However, the actor has never strayed too far from the Star Wars universe and has appeared in all of the franchise’s modern series of movie releases, playing an array of diverse and interesting characters.

In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story for instance, Davis portrayed Weeteef Cyubee, a member of Saw Gerrera’s Partisan resistance group who would later lend his assistance to Jyn Erso in her mission to steal the Death Star plans. This trigger-happy Talpini may not have had a large role in Rogue One but he certainly made a big impression on fans and, like many aliens in the Star Wars universe, has more of a backstory than is actually shown on screen. Directed by Gareth Edwards, Rogue One delivered a more mature take on the war between the Rebels and the Empire and would go on to achieve critical and commercial success.
