All the scenes from the trailers cut from the final film.

I must say, the magnitude of the cuts are staggering. I dislike how Jyn has kind of a spunky, cocky personality in the trailers but has a really bland seemingly Keanu Reeves placeholder type character in the finished product. I hope to god we get an extended cut next year with all these scenes included. If more character moments are included, even more so.
That is probably unlikely. It was not solely at Tarkin's discretion. He received approval from Sidious to use the Death Star to destroy one planet to send a message to the other systems of what awaited them if they rebelled. Sidious would likely have not gone overboard, rubber stamping use of the Death Star over and over again without sufficient reason for doing so would likely only vindicate the rebels. Sidious envisioned the Death Star as the kind of weapon you only need to fire once. It does its job merely by existing after that, a job undone by the rebels destroying it.
