Earlier today it was reported by multiple sources that Disney was not happy with the early test screenings of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. New details are emerging that say that this might not be so true. Thus far the only people who have seen it are Disney’s top bosses, there haven’t been any other test screenings, and while they think it could be better they aren’t worried about it being a disaster, according to Deadline.
Writers for Variety and The Hollywood Reporter are also making comments on twitter about the rumors.
Sources say reshoots are expected on ROGUE 1; nothing to worry about, most of the shoot will involve the cameo of a very important character

ROGUE ONE, according to one of my guys, as prequel-ly as a prequel can get, leading up to 10 minutes before A NEW HOPE begins.Tone matters.

Yes, there will be more shooting for ROGUE ONE. The first cut was pretty serious. The new stuff to inject fun, "classic" #StarWars feel.

Alden Ehrenreich was recently cast as young Han Solo so perhaps the rumors that he is going to make an appearance in the movie is the reason for the re-shoots. Or perhaps they are just normal re-shoots since everything seems to have re-shoots these days.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is directed by Gareth Edwards and opens December 16th.
