Even the big tent poles are fraught with uncertainty; they keep news about Star Wars locked up like Fort Knox, but I heard on those Rogue One re-shoots, it was Tony Gilroy behind the camera and not Gareth Edwards.
Gareth Edwards’ upcoming Star Wars film recently underwent reshoots to tweak the film prior to its release, but now it seems that Edwards might not even have been part of this process.
So it seems that Disney and Lucasfilm wanted more Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but they didn’t bring Gareth Edwards back onto the project in order to get them done.
One of the last major franchise films to debut in 2016 also happens to be one of the most highly anticipated: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
