Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards has revealed how he came up with Scarif as the name for the Imperial-occupied tropical planet that serves as a key location in the film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Edwards shared the story during a panel at SXSW, saying the origin of the name came from a barista who misspelled his name on the side of a coffee cup. "I must have said, 'It's Gareth,' and they wrote 'Scarif,'" he said.
During the panel Edwards also shared a few other fun facts about the film, revealing that Peter Jackson was on set for the filming of one of the movie's key scenes at the very end. He also credited Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy for being the first to suggest the film's dramatic conclusion, which Edwards has discussed at length in the past.
He also addressed the extensive reshoots that took place before the film's release last year, noting it's part of today's more free-flowing approach to filmmaking. "If it leads to the result where people don't shout at you from across the street and say you ruined their childhood, I'll take it," he said.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story released last December to incredible success. It became Disney's fourth film of last year to cross the $1 billion mark worldwide and was named IGN's best movie of 2016.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released on Blu-ray, DVD and On-Demand on April 4.
