Tony Gilroy, the writer and director who took over the reins for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story reshoots, has confirmed that there won’t be any future re-editing of the film. Despite speculation among fans, Gilroy put the rumors to rest with The Hollywood Reporter.
“I’m not going to go into any more detail,” Gilroy told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview before the writers’ strike. “But the more authority that you hear people talk about online about what happened on that movie, the less they know. That’s all that needs to be said.”
Gilroy went on to say that while there may have been unused footage that could have resulted in a different story, the version released in theaters was “the absolute best version of that movie that you could possibly imagine in the time that was given.”
