Part 2/9:
Initially, Disney and Lucasfilm announced Rogue Squadron, a film directed by Patty Jenkins, with much fanfare. The project was billed as a fresh take on Star Wars, focusing on pilots and aerial combat, and was scheduled for a December 2023 release. However, behind the scenes, things appeared shaky. Reports surfaced of conflicts between Jenkins and Lucasfilm, leading to delays in the production schedule. Recently, Disney officially removed the film from its release timetable—no revised date, no hint of cancellation; simply, it disappeared.
This outright removal signals that Rogue Squadron may be effectively shelved, possibly canceled altogether. As of now, there are no announced plans to replace it or postpone it, leaving fans speculating whether the project is dead in the water.
