PATTY JENKINS' ROGUE SQUADRON SAVED AS WONDER WOMAN 3 PLANS AXED

Mar 14, 2024 10:43 AM

Star Wars enthusiasts have reason to remain cautiously optimistic as Patty Jenkins' "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" isn't completely off the table despite recent complications with Jenkins' schedule. Initially put on hold due to Jenkins' commitment to "Wonder Woman 3," the cancellation of that project has freed up the director to revisit her planned "Star Wars" film. Jenkins confirmed her renewed focus on the Rogue Squadron project after finalizing a deal with Lucasfilm, although she has uncertain sentiments about the film's fate, given the current state of Lucasfilm's film slate, which includes a series of theatrical projects in limbo. "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" finds itself among numerous other potential "Star Wars" movies that have been teased but not confirmed, leaving fans to ponder the future of the cinematic side of the saga.

Is "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" still happening?

Yes, Patty Jenkins' "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" is still a possibility. The project's future was uncertain due to Jenkins' prior commitments, but with the cancellation of "Wonder Woman 3," Jenkins has reiterated her focus on developing the script further, though the film's final status remains up in the air.

"Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" is a much-anticipated addition to the "Star Wars" cinematic universe and would be focused around the elite fighter pilots made famous in the "Star Wars" films and expanded universe. These pilots, known for their skills in X-wing battles, have been an integral part of the franchise's lore. Patty Jenkins, the potential director for the film, has expressed her passion for the project and aims to deliver a "Top Gun"-like experience set in the "Star Wars" universe. However, given the current state of Lucasfilm's management of their theatrical releases and the numerous projects in development, the outcome of "Rogue Squadron" is still to be determined.

It's great to hear that Star Wars: Rogue Squadron still has a chance, especially with Patty Jenkins' dedication to the project. The idea of a Top Gun-like experience in the Star Wars universe has potential, but it seems like the film's fate is still hanging in the balance amidst Lucasfilm's cinematic ventures.
