Star Wars: Rogue One - 10 Niggling Concerns No Fan Wants To Admit

10. Tampering With The Director's Creative Vision

There were reshoots down on the movie, which could mean one of two things: either there was cause for concern – maybe the movie needed to be tightened up, or reworked – or there wasn’t, in which case the distributors were purposely tampering with the director’s creative vision, meddling with his intentions, possibly for the worst.

The whole thing seems oddly reminiscent of what happened between Fox and Josh Trank throughout the production of Fantastic Four, in which the director’s ambitions were completely squandered, hampered by studio meddling. The result was one of the most disappointing movies released last year, a genuine travesty with a huge amount of potential, especially considering the movie’s considerable personality, which shines through despite its many problems.

Hopefully, the director’s wishes were respected in this case. After all, I’d rather see a movie – even a bad movie – made by an actual filmmaker, than one made by a committee of market analysts.
