Maybe Starbucks will be able to start justifying the price of their coffee. CNN had an interview with Rogue one director Gareth Edwards. In this interview Edwards goes over the decision to 86 all the main characters in the end, and the difficulty of using CGI to cross the uncanny valley. The most curious of things he talked about though was how the planet of "Scarif" came from a mistake involving a trip to Starbucks. When the Barista asked him his name he said he must have said, "It's Gareth" but in that they must've heard "Scarif" so that's what they wrote on the cup. He was being tasked with coming up with the final planet's name to no avail. So, when he got his drink he thought man, Scarif, that sounds pretty Star Wars, and lo and behold history was once again shaped by mistake. I love little stories like these it's funny to see how many of our classic moments come from what would normally just be thrown away as a mistake. Goes to show there truly is magic everywhere.
