Several reports contradict that amount. Says normal built in schedules for reshoots. Put down the the blog and back away slowly.....

I saw this reported via multiple sources, but as always the truth may be somewhere in between.

Update: “High-level sources at Lucasfilm” spoke with Entertainment Weekly (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/03/rogue-one-reshoots) and refuted Ward’s report that the crew expects to reshoot 40% of the film. Rogue One will reportedly undergo four to five weeks of reshoots, beginning this month and ending before the Star Wars Celebration fan event in London on July 15. The picture will then be locked in mid-August and scored in September. “If we were rewriting the movie and reshooting 40% of the movie, we would not be finishing in August,” a source told EW. “People really would be panicking – and changing the release date.”

Whatever the reason, it's clear they don't want a big failure on their hands with the second star wars flick under the mouse's hand out of the gate...
