Disney execs in a panic over upcoming ‘Star Wars’ film (Rewrite/Reshooting after Prescreen Bombs)
Page Six ^ | 5-30-2016 | Emily Smith

The first “Star Wars” spinoff, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” is in crisis, and the movie will have to go into expensive reshoots over the summer, sources exclusively confirmed to Page Six.

The much-anticipated “Rogue One” is due for release on Dec. 16, but we’re told bosses at Disney are not fully satisfied with the first cut from director Gareth Edwards.

One Hollywood source told us, “The execs at Disney are not happy with the movie, and ‘Rogue One’ will have to go back into four weeks of expensive reshoots in July.”

I saw the trailer and it does look like a mess. The movie is a prequel about the rebels who steal the plans to the death star. The lead character is a James Dean Rebel without a Cause type girl who is anti social and fights everyone. In other words, if I drew up a list of people who I would pick to lead a super secret, critically important mission, she would be last. In fact she would be the expendable decoy.

They'd better get started replacing all those dead jedi kids from the temple (cue rap music)

Love star wars, but not a dime from me for disney. They can market their films in india, where their new it staff that displaced American workers in America, is from.

Come to think of that, displacing workers, that sounds romneyesque.

IOW, it was probably so darn good that Disney felt the need to put their fingerprints on it to make it more “family-friendly.”

Yup, only 2 1/2 “good” star wars movies.

Exactly correct.

And that’s why they’re changing it. When you get past all the breathless love of insisting everything is going to be a disaster all that’s really going on is he hewed further away from the standard look and feel of Star Wars movies and they’re bringing it in closer. Lightening the tone, tweaking the look. Makes sense really, the rumor is that the end of this movie is basically 10 minute before Ep 4, so the look and feel really can’t deviate that much, especially not in this home media age when you know a good chunk of the audience will be watching the two back-to-back.

I don't know, put away your preachy, overbearing social engineering agenda and just be human beings like the rest of us for once?

Heretic!

These movies basically are telling white guys to eff off, we don’t want you anymore.

JJ Binks just comfirmed it for me.

As long as I have the same equal freedom, fine by me. I just wont be hypocritical about it.

He forgets Luke was hot for Leia. No gay man pines sexually over a woman.

"Saw a trailer for the next Star Trek movie. All explosions, glitter, fights. No plot. So go movies these days."

It's in total skullf*** reshoot turnaround too. Focused as bad as Star Wars Rogue POS.

"I don't understand-- they've got empowered women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians-- They're probably fighting Nazis and building sustainable housing-- what would people not like???"

Also don't forget that they're using environmentally
friendly energy and voting for Bernie.
And one of them will be getting a gender adjustment.

I don't know about the affordable housing, but the Empire and its successor have always looked always looked like Nazis.
