In a stunning turn of events, some major news has arrived that Rogue Squadron is back in the works!
Patty Jenkins originally walked away from the project due to conflicts making Wonder Woman 3. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron was then pulled by Disney in 2022 from the upcoming movies calendar. However, 15 months later, the director has shared via Collider that she is back on the project under a new contract with Lucasfilm. She stated:
"So, when I left Star Wars to do Wonder Woman 3 , I thought maybe I'll come back to Star Wars after Wonder Woman 3 . So we did a deal for that to happen, started a deal, but I thought I was doing Wonder Woman. When that went away, Lucasfilm and I were like, oh, we gotta finish this deal. We finished the deal right as the strike was happening. So I now owe a draft of Star Wars and so we will see what happens there. You know, like, who knows?Patty Jenkins
And so we will see what happens there. You know, like, who knows? It's hard, they have a hard job in front of them of what's the first movie they're gonna do. They have other directors who have been working, but I am now, you know, I'm back on doing Rogue Squadron and we'll see what happens. We need to develop, you know, get it to where we're both super happy with it."
This is a surpring and execellent development! Rogue Squadron sounded like such a wonderful idea and it was disappointing to see it come off the upcoming movies. With all the upcoming movies coming from a galaxy far, far away, it's a fantastic time to be Star Wars fan!
