Did anyone read this or spoke about it before? Joey I would have thought this would be of interest.

I did read that, yes. Super interesting. It was kind of a bummer that they speculate that

Spoiler: show

the shot of the Tie Fighter on the tower was probably never actually shot or in the movie but just a composite shot for promo purposes.

That actually made a ton of sense and I think they're probably right.

The rest of it is a great breakdown and I think they're pretty on point with their speculation. And IF they are right, I think the decisions made in the reshoots were the right decisions. I'm not sure the movie being pitched in that first trailer (again, assuming these guys are totally right) might have been a less interesting story. Though, maybe it would have been less convoluted, which others may have responded well to. I didn't find R1 to be too convoluted and I liked the sort of circular motion of the film.

It's been confirmed by multiple sources that worked on the film it really was just the ending was reshot.

But just look at that article and that has to be untrue. Look at that first trailer and all of the stuff that's cut. And it obviously wasn't cut for time. It's stuff that would not make sense in the film as it stands. I just don't buy that it was only the ending. I think other things had to change perhaps BECAUSE the ending was changed. But it's clearly more than that.
