LeMarchand Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Don't get too excited. 2023 release date and the teaser below is director Patty Jenkins just talking about why she took on the film. 2
ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Oooo! This has potential. Set it around the same time period as The Madalorian, find someone great to play Wedge Antilles as squadron leader, borrow heavily from the Rogue Squadron book series and you're on to a winner!
LeMarchand Posted December 11, 2020 Author Posted December 11, 2020 find someone great to play Wedge Antilles as squadron leader Poor Derek Lawson! No digital de-ageing for him in your heart?
ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 It depends when they set it in all honesty. If it's set close to the sequel trilogy then he can play an embittered squadron commander who has seen too many wars and doesn't fly anymore (until the grand finale). However I think they would be clever to set it around the same time as Mando to cash in and tell a story of Rogue Squadron being the elite unit it was in the books. Wedge in his prime taking on the hardest missions. It would give them scope to bring in a couple of Legends pilots too. Notably Corran Horn, Gavin Darklighter and Tycho Celchu.
paulkerton Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Poor Derek Lawson! No digital de-ageing for him in your heart? Denis Lawson is going to be furious when he finds out he's been recast and yet they still had to digitally deage his replacement 1

ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 They literally need to do Top Gun meets Independence Day (the first one) but star wars. Surely they couldn't ruin it... Could they?

LeMarchand Posted December 16, 2020 Author Posted December 16, 2020 Start managing your expectations. The film will be an original story "honouring" what's come before: https://www.ign.com/articles/patty-jenkins-star-wars-rogue-squadron-movie-is-not-a-video-game-adaptation “[in the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron movie] we're doing something original with great influence from the games and the books,” Jenkins told IGN in an interview. “There's a lot of things being acknowledged and understood about the greatness of all of those things, but yes, it's an original story and I'm so psyched to do it."

The film will be an original story "honouring" what's come before: https://www.ign.com/articles/patty-jenkins-star-wars-rogue-squadron-movie-is-not-a-video-game-adaptation Well, I didn't expect a straight adaptation of games and books. No one is going to start making a potentially billion dollar grossing movie and be beholden to what will be a 25 year old game at the time of the movie's release.
LeMarchand Posted November 9, 2021 Author Posted November 9, 2021 Looks like Rogue Squadron has been grounded, or at least put in a holding pattern. Director Patty Jenkins has both Wonder Woman 3 and Cleopatra (both starring Gal Gadot) to shoot first so it can't make its scheduled release date. Other Star Wars movies are in various stages of production, but it could be a while before any hit the big screen.

LeMarchand Posted November 10, 2021 Author Posted November 10, 2021 There are rumours that they may be pivoting to a... wait for it... Knights of the Old Republic era movie. 1
paulkerton Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 Rumour is that KOTOR will be the Kevin Feige produced Star Wars movie, directed by Chloe Zhao (Eternals) If it's true. I bet we'd hear more on Friday (Disney+ Day)
LeMarchand Posted December 7, 2021 Author Posted December 7, 2021 ...and it's back on. Jenkins has moved to producer on Cleopatra to make sure she has time for Rogue Squadron. https://deadline.com/2021/12/gal-gadots-cleopatra-paramount-falcon-and-the-winter-soldiers-kari-skogland-1234853027/
