Gary Whitta

Gary Whitta was the screenwriter for the first draft of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, for which he also coined the title. In 2015, Chris Weitz was brought on to complete the screenplay.
Previously, Whitta served as editor-in-chief of both the UK and US versions of PC Gamer Magazine. Several years prior to the announcement that he would write one of the Star Wars spin-off films, Whitta made a number of posts to the NeoGAF message boards, in which he criticized the prequel trilogy and the 2011 Blu-ray changes to the original trilogy.
He had a cameo appearance in Rogue One as Gray Leader, which was cut from the film.
