A new rumor from MyTimeToShineHello on X states that Disney may be bringing back Patty Jenkins’ “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron” idea as a Disney+ show.
Here is what @MyTimeToShineHello reportedly said,
This potential pivot isn’t completely out of the blue. Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, previously hinted that Rogue Squadron could be reworked into a series format.
Considering the studio’s current focus on streaming projects, the move makes sense, especially since the only Star Wars show currently confirmed for Disney+ is Ahsoka Season 2.
That raises a major question: what does this mean for Jenkins’ involvement? The filmmaker addressed her complicated history with Rogue Squadron earlier this year, explaining how her plans shifted between projects.
“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,” Jenkins said last March.
“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?” she continued. “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.”
“Rogue Squadron” was originally announced at Disney+ Day in 2020, with Patty Jenkins making the announcement.
The film was later delayed in 2021 and had seemingly been shelved with most of the announced “Star Wars” shows and films.
Take this rumor with a grain of salt. It is promising that Jenkins has said she is “back on doing Rogue Squadron,” but “Star Wars” projects have more that were scrapped than were approved.
