Looks like the force is not strong with this one. After seeing the first cut, Disney execs are asking for reshoots. The first cut a bit to dark and gloomy for Disney, so they want the reshoots to add more light heartedness so that there can be more of a sense of adventure, closer in tone of the original trilogy. Now a darker edge might not be a bad thing seeing how Empire Strikes Back is often listed as the best film of the franchise. Hopefully Disney will be able to find a nice balance between the gloom and the adventurous tone they are looking for.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be directed by Gareth Edwards who previously directed the second attempt at a American take on Godzilla in 2014. Rogue One takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, as it tells the story of how the Rebels were able to steal the plans for the Death Star. The film stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, and Forest Whitaker to name a few. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released this December. The first Official Trailer has already been released.
