I just stumbled upon this interview with Chris Weitz:
“He landed ‘Rogue One,’ which had already been through one draft by writer Gary Whitta. And immediately, Weitz was able to see what he wanted to change which his version of the script.
“The version prior to that didn’t have everyone die. As a matter of fact, it ended with a wedding. I think it was on the presumption that Disney wouldn’t allow characters to die with such abandon,” Weitz said." (full interview)
...a Rogue One wedding... hmm....
