Star Wars: Rogue One (December 2016)

Crisis?

Rogue One: Work to begin on Han Solo spin-off after 'crisis' reshoots

"The move is happening after execs screened the movie and felt it was tonally off with what a 'classic' Star Wars movie should feel like," the site says. "The goal of the reshoots will be to lighten the mood, bring some levity into the story and restore a sense of fun to the adventure."

The report adds: "While Edwards' first cut was a solid showing, it didn't measure up... 'Anything less than extraordinary won't do,' says a studio insider."

Film and technology site io9 says it is unlikely the film is "in crisis", as some publications, including the New York Post, have suggested and that such reshoots are not uncommon.

In fact, The Force Awakens "did reshoots mere weeks before release", the site says. "Because of that, many believe the Post report was erroneously mixing standard reshoots up with something grander."
 
Yeah, I'm off to Celebration for the weekend but the queuing for the main stage sessions starts at 8pm the previous night with wristbands being given out at 6am, so I doubt I'll make it to the Rogue One session.

That's some queue! Mate of mine is off to Comic Con in San Diego in a week or two. Lucky sod! :)
 
I had hoped to go to Celebration in costume, but I've run out of time to get it finished. I was relying on working on it in the garden but the weather's been too crappy at weekends. Also it's taken a lot longer to put together than I'd imagined.

Sorry what was the costume, because of your user name I assume it was Tauntaun based?
 
Here's the Celebration Reel.

As predicted, I didn't get in to the panel. From what I could tell from the live stream, they showed a clip at the end of the panel which isn't included in the stream :(

Nothing yet.

Maybe during/after the Future of Star Wars panel tomorrow afternoon. (15:00-16:30)
 
So no trailer at the final session - "Future Filmmakers" - Rian Johnson (Director Ep.VIII), Chris Miller & Phil Lord (joint directors, untitled Han Solo movie), Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart and Pablo Hidalgo (all Lucasfilm)

We did get the official casting of Alden Eherenreich as the young Han Solo. He then appeared on stage.

John Boyega turned up, as did Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher (both had their dogs in-tow)

Had a great three days at Celebration. Not many actors from TFA (if you exclude Carrie and Mark), but Daisy showed up on the Thursday night (before the show opened).

The queueing was monumental, but turning up around 6am would get you any wristbands you wanted (max. 2 panels per person). As we're only a couple of miles from Excel, we could dive out of bed at 5:30am, be in the queue for 6am and back home by 06:45. Then head in an hour before our first session of the day.

We managed to not splurge on merch, restricting ourselves to a single item(!), albeit a pricey signed and framed print - linky

The atmosphere was great; so many great cosplayers, very visible anti-discrimination stance, lots kids having the time of their lives.

Lots of photos, unedited and some are a bit blurry - Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016

Here's a photo of the queue to enter the Rogue One panel on Friday afternoon, 45 minutes before it was due to start. Everyone in this queue had already queued until 6am that morning to get a wristband so they could get in to the panel.
