It’s no secret that the magic of Star Wars has come from the touch of many, many minds. But not every little detail of the carefully-crafted canon is as deliberate as some may think. For instance, take one of the most memorable lines of Rogue One — “just let the girl speak!”
The unlikely improvised origins of the line, enshrined into memory by memes, were revealed in a Reddit thread today. The line was delivered by Samuel Victor as Torius Chord, a Rebel pilot also known by his callsign Blue Two, who fought in the battle over Scarif and, of course, silenced a room of argumentative Rebels on Yavin IV. In a Reddit post, Victor shared how he was given the last minute chance to be on set to fill in for Blue Two during the film’s infamous reshoots. While his character is known for the improved line, Victor revealed he actually performed a few scripted lines that were cut from the final film.
