Part 8/9:
Despite public assurances from Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy about returning Star Wars to the big screen, the lack of concrete plans, release dates, or even a definitive timetable suggests a more cautious or uncertain approach. The franchise's overall trajectory seems increasingly reliant on streaming content, aligning with trends in media consumption but disappointing long-time fans who crave new theatrical experiences.
The recent history demonstrates a pattern: the name Star Wars is becoming synonymous with production challenges, cancellations, and a perception of decline. The cancellation or postponed status of Rogue Squadron might reflect broader struggles within Lucasfilm to reboot or sustain the franchise's cinematic universe.
