It has a release date that is not so far, far away. But Disney bosses are apparently so alarmed at how bad the new Star Wars spin-off movie Rogue One is that they have ordered four weeks of expensive reshoots in a bid to salvage the project. After the money-making bonanza that was The Force Awakens, they are reportedly shocked at how the new film, which takes place shortly before the original Star Wars and features delicate English starlet Felicity Jones as a tough-talking maverick pilot.

Could it have been worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special?

Star Wars: Revenge of the Feminist Mob...maybe Disney is reshooting because not enough white men are being killed or it’s not gay enough because that could be the only reason

Sheesh, leave it to the Brit media to make a mountain out of a molehill. Reshoots are normal, especially for a movie of this size. I read an article in the NY Post about this and it wasn’t nearly this dramatic.

The Force Awakens made money because it had the original stars. They are in the process of ruining Star Wars.

Godzilla was junk.

It’s Disney.

According to the old stories a boat load of Bothans died getting the plans to the Rebels. I wonder if that will even make the new canon. I don’t hold out a lot of hope.

...

Disney is all about merchandising and promoting whatever Big Government wants.

The great many Bothans died getting the plans for Death Star 2.0 and the knowledge that the Emperor would be there to oversee the final stages of completion.

Had never heard of Felicity Jones. Turns out she's not just "delicate." She is downright mousy.

Apparently the target demographic is boys who are just beginning to discover the appeal of the opposite sex.

I'm more inclined to believe the leftists will use it as a platform for indoctrination and to promote the latest trend in social perversion.

If true I am not surprised. "The Force Awakens" was nothing more than an insipid reworking of "A New Hope". That it was a financial success was not due to quality but hype and merchandising, something Disney is unequaled at.

Perhaps Donald Duck as a Fleet Admiral was a bad choice.

IMHO, they had the original story as well.
