40% Of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Needs To Be Reshot

 

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story could be in trouble? A couple of days ago we learnt that the film was set to undergo reshoots, however it was quickly revealed that the reshoots were simply to add in a surprise cameo. Now though, the story seems to be changing again, as report has it that it’s not just the cameo that needs to be shot, it’s a good 40% of the film.

Apparently, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story needs about six weeks’ worth of reshoots, with 32 different sets being recreated. Not only that, but writer Christopher McQuarrie is being called back in to assist, as his work on the script saved the story initially and he’s needed once again to help out. J.J. Abrams was supposed to come in and supervise as well, but Making Star Wars says that he won’t be involved as he’s done with the franchise.

The main problem Disney has is that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story currently plays out more like a war movie, and thus, isn’t consistent with the tone set by The Force Awakens and previous entries into the franchise.

Either way, we’ll find out for sure when Rogue One: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters on December 16th, 2016.
