Yeah, wasn't the Rogue One trailer an example of this? I recall there was a scene where the main character comes face to face with an airborne tie fighter - the entire sequence was absent from the film. According to the director, the scene had no connection to the story and never had any chance of making it into the film. It was just a visual idea the marketing team really liked.
Yeah, the director, Gareth Edwards, was like, “What's this!?” And as you say, it was a marketing idea. It is a cool shot though.
The Rogue One trailer's feature quite a lot of deleted footage, especially as there were reshoots to change the ending. Some trailers feature footage of Jinn and the gang running across the beach and if you look closely, she has the Death Star data hard drive in her hand. This is taken from the original end action sequence. There are quite a few YouTube videos that pull out all the footage from the marketing and show what didn't end up in the finished film.
