Star Wars: A Major Project Just Relaunched

Star Wars : Patty Jenkins responds

Time passes and the future Star Wars continues to be rather vague. While the franchise continues to grow with series on Disney+, it’s a little more complicated for the films. Since 2019 and Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, many projects have been announced. But some have been cancelled, others postponed to a distant future or even replaced by new proposals. According to the latest news, we should have another movie soon The Mandalorian AND A Star Wars 10 with Daisy Ridley. But we are still waiting for filming to start to fully believe it.

That a film project is ultimately canceled is no longer a surprise Star Wars. On the other hand, for Disney to reverse a decision and restart production, that would be rather unexpected. However, this is exactly what could happen Rogue Squadron, announced in 2021, before being shelved the following year. A project that was supposed to be directed by Patty Jenkins, who returned to the Hollywood spotlight after her enormous success Wonder Woman in 2017. A teaser was even revealed (see below).

According to the latter, he had had creative differences with the producers of Star Warshe always would a preliminary version of the scenario of his film will soon be returned to LucasFilm. This is what he said on the podcast Speaking images (through IGN), specifying that he had first left the project to be done Wonder Woman 3. But the cancellation of the latter had led to this a new agreement with the Disney-owned studio.

When I left Star Wars to make Wonder Woman 3, and I started working on it, we said I could come back to Star Wars after Wonder Woman 3. And so we made a deal to make that happen. When Wonder Woman 3 disappeared, LucasFilm and I felt we had to see this deal through to the end. We made the deal just as the strike started, so I have to turn in a draft of Star Wars.

Rogue Squadron : the origin of the project

The project Rogue Squadron it is therefore very much alive, but still far from entering production as the director has yet to provide a script. Patty Jenkins says in any case that she will return for this film Star Warswhile maintaining precautions by specifying: “We’ll have to make sure we both like the movie“. Implied, that there is no creative difference between LucasFilm and the director.

As a reminder, Rogue Squadron was originally supposed to be a movie about fighter pilots of the universe Star Warsdrawing maximum inspiration from video game license eponym that books. We should expect some sort of Top Gun with X-Wings? It’s too early to tell. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that this project will continue to evolve and that Patty Jenkins’ initial vision will no longer be the same as it is today. In the end, Kathleen Kennedy, president of LucasFilm, had kept the door open Rogue Squadron several months ago, discussing the possibility of it becoming a series. Which wasn’t particularly reassuring, but it allowed us to avoid officially burying the project.
