As fans await the December 2016 premiere of the first live-action Star Wars spinoff movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the film was recently hit with controversy surrounding its reshoots.
Mikkelsen saying “it’s the same film” will definitely be comforting for the moviegoers hoping Rogue One offers a different kind of experience within the Star Wars galaxy.
Since Rogue One is a Star Wars film and one of the most anticipated projects of the year, there was more attention thrust onto its reshoots when compared to other movies.
