A little-seen (and even less profitable) Harrison Ford film directly inspired “Star Wars: Rogue One. “

Star Wars: Rogue One Was Inspired By A Harrison Ford Box Office Bomb
Gareth Edwards' 2016 nostalgia-fest "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" seems to have been made to address what some people call a plot hole in George Lucas' 1977 film "Star Wars." Why, the query went, would the deathly efficient Empire build a moon-sized planet-killing machine with such a grievous design flaw? It seems, however, that "Rogue One" wasn't merely spackling over a fan-noticed pseudo-error. The characters in Edwards' film were designed after a little-seen clunker starring Harrison Ford.
