The trades are now confirming the rumor that re-shoots were ordered for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but from the sound of things it has nothing to do with the studio being unhappy with any early test screening reactions.
According to Deadline the only people to see the movie are Disney's top brass, and though they did feel the film could gel better, it doesn't sound like they are worried about having some kind of "disaster" on their hands.
Writers for both Variety and THR have also weighed in with what they heard, and you can check out their Tweets below.
If that's accurate, it sounds like those rumors of a certain scruffy lookin' space smuggler making a cameo are also on the level. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is still set for release on December 16th, 2016.
