One of the most interesting tidbits Gary Whitta revealed during this Q&A is that his first draft originally showed the nerf herders, but he wouldn't say how they were involved in the story.įans never got to see what an actual "nerf herder" looks like, but the name itself became cemented in Star Wars lore with a line Princess Leia ( Carrie Fisher) delivers in Empire Strikes Back, when she insults Han Solo by calling him a "stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder." Han's response was also the stuff of legend, telling Leia, "Who's scruffy-looking?" Nerf herders were actual people who rounded up members of the nerf species, who were, "furry, non-sentient animals raised for their milk, meat, and hide," according to the Star Wars Wikia known as Wookiepedia. Chris Weitz took over the writing duties after that, with Gary Whitta and John Knoll receiving story credit on Rogue One, and Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy, who was brought in to re-work the script for reshoots, receiving full screenplay credit. Gary Whitta was the first writer hired for this spin-off, spending a full year working on the script before turning in his draft. Gary Whitta was joined by Star Wars experts Chris Pirillo and Joe Vargas during this live Twitter Q&A session yesterday, where they took questions from the fans about Rogue One. If you demand more details about Rogue One before the holidays, then you're in luck, because screenwriter Gary Whitta recently held a Twitter Q&A session, where he confirmed that the iconic Nerf Herders were almost featured in Rogue One. In the five days since it hit theaters on December 16, a number of new details have emerged, including director Gareth Edwards revealing that he actually repurposed some unused footage from A New Hope in Rogue One, while we also learned more about Darth Vader's castle. It's no surprise that Disney's blockbuster spin-off Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has been dominating the online movie landscape, with fans clamoring to find out everything they can about this big-screen adventure, before they see it again and again.
