Rogue One reshoot?

@They Live Based on upon your previous posts and your opening question, you're clearly in the "Disney is screwing things up" camp, and nothing we say will change your opinion. If you love Star Wars the way you claim, it's perfectly within your right not to see the future films or any project for that matter.

"IF sources are correct" - You make it seem like a fact already when the EW article dispelled that notion (but then again, it's Disney and they are screwing things up anyway., right?)

I take issue with the implication that you think the rest of us will just blindly follow what Disney puts out without question. That's disrespecting our individual experiences as fans. Speaking personally, I've already said in a previous post that I'll reserve judgment until after watching the film in December. That's my right. I refuse to hand wring over something I cannot control.

If you want to go on lamenting, be my guest. Thank you for enlightening us.

 

40% is close to confirmed. If accurate, no wonder Gareth Edwards is beside himself. That's a ton of work, and if the reshoots are for the purpose of watering down the movie, knowing that you're deliberately making a poorer film would make the whole process even more agonizing.

I watched The Force Awakens, with the full knowledge that I would most likely hate it. That won't happen again. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice....

I can still beeotch about the series and cry about Disney raping my childhood though, right?

 

Man, it's almost nostalgic to see the fanbase jumping the gun with stuff like "they're shooting 40% of the movie to water it down, because Disney wants family movies, Gareth is livid!" that they read on Reddit and continue believing even when the source was proved bogus. It pretty much proves that the SW fandom hasn't changed at all since 1978. The only difference is the platform/medium these concerns are voiced in/on. Once upon a time, it was in fanzines and club magazines and meetings with your fellow SW fans that were arranged through post.

Good times. I bet we'll be seeing these posts in ten months and feel the same nostalgia.

 

I think we are all working for Disney and don't even know it!

Nothing you and I can do about it.

Let's see it first.

 

Good for you then. *thumbs up*

Hey, it's your fan experience. Whatever suits you.

A variety of opinions bring spice to fandom life. It's never dull, that's for sure. Key thing is respecting others even when opinions differ.

LOL! Same feeling here!

 

I took the article about the reshoot as that the initial cut wasnt bad it was missing a few things to the storyline. With McQ as additional help with 40% of the film reshoot he is providing certain key features that was missing in critical scenes of R1. that reshooting the scene with added "characters" and to connect R1 to adapt to ANH. the R1 story ends just right after ANH. So my guess is that they had to add characters to certain points in the film to connect it. maybe Leia getting captured during the rebels plans of stealing the plans. Darth/Emperor I think Disney exec(if true) wanted more of SW saga attached to it. We see it as the first film that doesnt have any jedi/force in it. Thats just how I see it. I support SW and R1 hasnt really caught my attention since I am one that thinks about how its the first film that doesnt have a force/jedi/lightsabers involved. I think adding more of Vader/Leia/Organa and maybe a scene where Senator Organa in R1 says 'Obi-Wan is alive and hes the one to help to Leia would make it more. Leia's line to the end of the film "Obi Wan your our..." when Jyn Erso looks back as what I think maybe this scene is...

 

I don't think that it's to ADAPT to Rogue One as the initial cut of a movie is almost always done by the director before the producers give notes to include a final edit/picture lock so my understanding is that this is exactly what had happened and the time that was alloted to begin was used to add "heft" to the movie that it might have been lacking before...for the record, R1 ends roughly 10 minutes before episode 4 starts.

 

Im just saying/thinking that the reshoot was to ADAPT/CONNECT ANH. its only 40% from what i read and its only means that they wanted to add more certain scenes. I your thinking is kinda what I suggested, to add "HEFT" to R1. So the film is good just missing "flair". McQ view is how to add the flair of SW into R1 storyline. more further meaning into R1 that links ANH. Think they want it to flow right in ANH than rather make it 10mins before ANH.

 

John Knoll (R1's story) said that the reshoots are mainly to "add someone special" .

 

I hope its Leia, she plays an important part through the process since shes ends up with the plans.

 

The most logical choice would be Han Solo but I'd hedge my bets on Lando Calrissian.

 

To me they wont make a big factor in R1. Lando I can see to add but not Han. To have him in R1 then really in ANH is better for him. I think Senator Organa would be better just to tie it into ANH more.

 

I doubt we'd see Jimmy Smits because of schedule/price/whatever but Lando seems the most likely because he hasn't been included in anything so far so they'd use deaging tech on Dee however I hope it's someone unexpected at the same time for the reshoots even though they're being played down by the official staff.

 

While you seem fine with it, it's not ok for another actress to play a young Princess Leia.

When I said the new films are an abomination, this is the kind of stuff I was referencing

Looking forward, which classic big three character will be victimized next by Disney, I wonder? Will we get Luke played by Jesse Eisenberg?

 

you retarded!? Im fine with R1, im talking about the story itself. I cant prevent them from making characters in the film. They already have someone play Han Solo so to me I dont like it but its just something they decided to do. Mon mothma is in R1? she is played by another person. Im just saying the story would fit if you added certain characters to a scene that would connect better to ANH. To me R1 doesnt do it for me as a SW film anthology whatever you consider it to be. I will support it though. Its good to know what else could happen in the SW universe. To me im use to seeing Jedis, the force, lightsabers as far as my SW knowledge goes. Disney is doing what it can to make the SW universe better. I dont like anthologies films, to me there is no point to know backstories of Han/Boba/Obi/lando or whoever. im not angered like you are They Live. but there are people who love it and dont mind the transition. Emma Stone!? seriously...

 

Guess i'm not a real fan because i like Kotor and Kotor 2 more than the OT movies.

 

Presumably starting over by slavishly adapting the EU comics and novels in chronological order after RotJ, starting with The Truce at Bakura and continuing forward with all the predictability of a well-maintained clock, yes?

 

I think people are suspicious of Alden Han Solo being in Rogue One because they cast the part ahead of the Rogue One additional filming. The Han Solo movie doesn't start filming until early next year (2017). Variety reported he could cameo in Rogue One months ago.
