Whatever way you look at it ‘Rogue One’, the first of Disney’s ‘Star Wars’ standalone movies directed by Gareth Edwards, has been a roaring success.

The fans love it, the critics love it (it’s at 85% on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer), and it’s been a big hit at the box office too, but since its release it’s emerged that the film could have been very different if Disney hadn’t reshaped the movie between its principal shoot that ended in February 2016 and the much-discussed reshoots that happened in June last year.

You only have to watch the film’s trailers to see huge scenes that were initially shot but didn’t make it into the finished film.

Two of the film’s editors John Gilroy (editor of ‘Suicide Squad’/’Nightcrawler’/’Pacific Rim’ and brother of Tony Gilroy, the ‘Michael Clayton’ and ‘Bourne Legacy’ director brought in to oversee the reshoots) and Colin Goudie (editor of Edwards’ 2010 breakout ‘Monsters’) chatted with Yahoo Movies UK to discuss their roles on the movie, explain how the reshoots reshaped the movie, and share how some classic footage from ‘A New Hope’ made it into ‘Rogue One’ with help from the original actor who played Gold Leader.
