Most of us joined the million of fans last December who ran frantically to see J.J. Abram's Star Wars: The Force Awakens but between that film and the next in the series will be the first spin off, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and a new rumor has it the movie did not test well. According to various sources (first reported by Dailymail) the movie did not impress internally at Disney, thus leading to the order of weeks of reshoots. Other rumors are conflicting the claim that the film was expecting reshoots throughout the summer to prepare for its December 16th release. There were also claims that the spin off movie needed to meet the quality of Abrams film. While Rogue One serves as a prequel to the entire Star Wars series, it's hard to imagine that it could generate the massive 2.6 billion box office gross The Force Awakens managed to pull by the end of it's run. There have also been lots of rumors swirling with director Gareth Edwards conflicting vision with the Disney team, which doesn't sound too far off from plausible. The director recently dropped out of Godzilla 2 to allegedly focus on smaller films. The cards were stacked against Rogue One from the start and due to it not being in canon with the main story line that's continuing with Star Wars episode 8, it's hard to believe that Rogue One will come close to the same level of box office blowout. Hopefully we won't have to worry about this film when Rogue One: A Star Wars Story debuts December 16th.
