Apparently the film had a different ending originally planned according to the director.
Quote:
In an Empire podcast, Gareth Edwards said his plan at first was to have all the main characters survive the events of the film because he assumed the historically wholesome Disney didn't want them to be killed. However, Lucasfilm signed off on the ending where everyone dies, much to Edwards' surprise.
"We thought we weren't going to be allowed to, but [Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy] and everyone at Disney were like, 'Yeah it makes sense. I guess they have to because they're not in A New Hope,'" Edwards said, as reported by The Verge.
Edwards went on to say that he never even filmed an alternate ending where the main cast members survive. "I kept waiting for someone to go, 'You know what? Could we just film an extra scene where we see Jyn and Cassian, they're okay and they're on another planet?'" he said. "And it never came. No one ever gave us that note, so we got to do it."
