There's a disturbance in the force! Star Wars spin-off Rogue One is 'so bad Disney chiefs ordered FOUR WEEKS of reshoots'

It has a release date that is not so far, far away.

But Disney bosses are apparently so alarmed at how bad the new Star Wars spin-off movie Rogue One is that they have ordered four weeks of expensive reshoots in a bid to salvage the project.

After the money-making bonanza that was The Force Awakens, they are reportedly shocked at the poor quality of the new film, which takes place shortly before the original Star Wars and features delicate English starlet Felicity Jones as a tough-talking maverick pilot.

So much for her summer holidays: Rogue One star Felicity Jones will doubtlessly be required on-set after it emerged Disney had ordered four weeks of reshoots

A source told Page Six: 'The execs at Disney are not happy with the movie, and Rogue One will have to go back into four weeks of expensive reshoots in July.

And it seems up-and-coming director Gareth Edwards, best known for 2014's Godzilla, is the person being fingered for the blame.

According to the insider, 'Gareth’s work on the first Godzilla shows he can handle a big studio blockbuster.

'But Rogue One has fallen short of what JJ Abrams did with Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. So Disney has ordered reshoots.'

'Disney won’t take a back seat, and is demanding changes, as the movie isn’t testing well.'

Given how JJ's effort is hardly a work of cinematic high art, and more of a high octane remix of the first Star Wars than anything remotely original, the fact the new film has failed to reach the same standard is surely alarming for fans of the beloved franchise.

The plot reportedly sees resistance fighters embark on a daring mission to steal the plans for the Death Star before it can be used to enforce the Emperor’s cruel rule.

The new film will see the fledgling Rebel Alliance working to steal the plans for the Death Star before the weapon of mass destruction can be used by the Galactic Empire to enforce the Emperor's rule.

Felicity, 32, who is best known for turns in costume dramas such as Brideshead Revisited and appearing alongside Russel Brand in Shakespearean adaptation The Tempest, was a surprise choice to star as the lead in the space opera.

She managed to beat off the likes of Tatiana Maslany and both Rooney and Kate Mara for the coveted role.

Other big names appearing in the movie, which is scheduled for a December 16 release, include Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker, Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen and Diego Luna.
