Star Wars Rogue One: Where does the name of the planet Scarif come from?

We now know well the name of Scarif, place of the final battle of Star Wars: Rogue One. And yet, Gareth Edwards found it in a very unconventional way!
When we are in charge of creating new elements for a saga as adored fans as Star Wars , we must still have a little pressure! Of course, it is necessary to ensure that the characters and the events are consistent in the history of the franchise and that they do not contradict what happened in the previous opus . That is a very important point. But we forget that we must also pay attention to the most minute details, such as … the names of places and planets ! Because it is necessary to stay in the tone of the saga without also imagining completely improbable denominations. As a result, We imagine that Gareth Edwards and his screenwriter Gary Whitta had to brainstorm well when it was necessary to name the various planets of the first spin-off of Star Wars . Moreover, the director, who recently unveiled an unexpected Easter Egg present in Star Wars: Rogue One , has a funny anecdote to tell about it. An anecdote about the name of the planet Scarif, where the final battle of the film takes place, which he took the time to tell in an interview for CNN and that melty makes you share.

The director tells that, instructed by Gary Whitta to find the name of the planet, he had studied the matter at length. And that the inspiration finally came to him during a passage in a coffee of the famous signboards Starbucks! He said, ” I went to the Starbucks to have a coffee and said, ‘What could be his name?’ ‘But maybe we could use that?’ ‘And then [the waitress ] When I asked for my name, I answered ‘Gareth’, but they had to hear ‘Scarif’, they had written ‘Scarif’ on the goblet and I said to myself: .. It looks like something out of Star Wars’ I came home and I gave it to Gary and said, ‘her name Scarif.’ . And there’s no doubt that the anecdote itself will do the same, especially if it’s also featured in the complete guide to the Star Wars universe: Rogue One !
