Rogue One reshoot?

I'm really not concerned. Like, at all. To my knowledge, 3-4 weeks of reshoots for a movie that was filmed in 6 months is actually pretty normal, and The Force Awakens was given a similar period for pick-ups.

I've made it clear that I don't trust Devin Faraci on matters outside of those relating to the MCU (which he has good sources on), and it really doesn't surprise me that he has egg on his face when it turns out that there weren't test screenings with audiences.

In the meantime, I don't get the impression that they're going to turn the movie into a quippy jokefest or anything like that. The first trailer looked pretty dark, and adding some humor here and there would probably benefit the film. It's called "comic relief" for a reason. I guess we'll get a better impression of the film when the trailer hits with Celebration Europe (and, let's face it, we know it will).

 

I honestly think that the vast majority of the "incorrect information" was the placeholder text (some of which was about The Force Awakens). The recent LEGO leaks established that the ship and character designs are virtually the same. As far as the content goes, there aren't going to be any huge changes to the names of the characters, ships, and so on.

Here's the tweet in question:



Given what we know, it's highly likely that they're expanding upon Darth Vader's role a bit.

And no, I don't think that Han Solo will be involved in this movie. Like, at all. Alden Ehrenreich is explicitly playing a young version of the character (that is to say, not a 34-year-old Harrison Ford analogue) and there hasn't been any evidence suggesting that he's going to be in the movie. It's basically just wishful thinking on the part of a few excited fans. As I said, Han doesn't have a role in this story - his involvement with the Rebel Alliance begins with smuggling Obi-Wan, Luke, and the others, not "lol I'm gonna commit high treason against the Empire".

 

The difference is that Josh Trank apparently directed much of the movie from a trailer using Skype and that he wasn't actually on-set for much of the time (and when he was, he had... issues). Not to mention that the reshoots for Fant4stic were longer than the actual period that they filmed the movie.

It doesn't seem like this movie is going to be a trainwreck or anything, but it does sound like executives are interfering with it. I'm pretty skeptical that they're really going to re-do 40% of the movie, though.
