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.”

First, the script was so bad, Marvel needed to bring in a script doctor, the same fellow who also helped "fix" World War Z-- whoops

But now, the movie will undergo at least 4 months of expensive reshooting.

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???

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

“Edwards stated that the style of the film will be similar to that of a war film, stating, ‘It’s the reality of war. Good guys are bad. Bad guys are good. It’s complicated, layered; a very rich scenario in which to set a movie.’[3][4]”

It doesn’t sound appealing.

They’re going to be fighting some vaguely TRUMPesque villian.

Not too obvious, maybe....BLUE face instead of orange, eh...whacky hair but whacky in a different WAY.

And he’s about to deport a bunch of xeno’s to Tattoine, right?

And build install an asteroid belt so they can’t return for free zachas.

These people NEVER CHANGE.

The last one was pretty stupid with lines like this:
“Get as afar as you can away from here. I’ll come back for you.”

Force Awakens was awful.

Let me get this straight, the girl can fly the Millenium Falcon better than Han Solo the first time she gets behind the controls, can Ginsu a Darth the first time she fires up a lightsaber...and the black dude keeps insisting she needs rescuing.

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

They need to make this movie more of a lecture to the public of how they should behave and what they should think. People want to be scolded.

“layered” and “very rich” better describe pastries than a war film!

Disney execs want young Darth Vader played by a Donald Trump lookalike. Producers wanted a Hillary lookalike to play the evil Emperor, but the execs resisted, because Vader killed the emperor later on. Putting them both in would add interest in the film, if it’s as bad as it seems.

Far as I’m concerned there were only 2.5 Star Wars movies (stinking Ewoks).

"He obviously hates himself."

He'll have to get in line because I don't think very highly of him either

Oh yeah, and that chick in “Force Awakens” thinks she needs to find Luke for training.

After showing off all those abilities I think Luke is going to be her apprentice.
