Extraordinarily massive reshoots happened, with rumors stating that Edwards wasn’t even at the helm anymore. Director Gareth Edwards managed to get an amazing powerhouse of a score out of the classy Frenchman, kicking all sorts of ass and blowing all sorts of minds.īut since 2016 was a craphead, it decided to give “Rogue One” (as the film was eventually called) some major production problems. Originally, French composer Alexandre Desplat got the gig, which seemed a natural move, since he already scored the director’s previous big film, the 2014 reboot of everyone’s favorite nuke-lizard: “Godzilla”. The first one was to be released in summer of 2016, before being delayed to December of the same year, and would tell the story of how the rebels managed to get those Death Star plans which Princess Leia would shove into R2-D2 in the original film. These so-called “Anthology Films” would take place in between the Episodes, wherever the studio feels the need for them, and would revolve around stories of “smaller” scale. You may think “Three movies? I thought Disney wanted to make some money! How will they get money with only three Star Wars movies?”, but Disney already thought about that and BOOM! They announced a set of Spin-Offs. Thus, they didn’t hesitate and announced to give the fanbase another trilogy, following the events of the 1983 hit “Return Of The Jedi”, the third film to be released but the sixth in the chronological order of the saga (don’t question it!). In 2012 George Lucas sold his company, Lucasfilm, to the mightiest empire in the known galaxy: Disney, and along with it, the rights to all of his properties, including, most notably, Star Wars.ĭespite celebrating its 40th birthday in 2017, Star Wars is still a huge brand and rumor has it, that Disney likes themselves some sweet, sweet franchise-money.
