“Rogue Squadron”, the “Star Wars” movie directed by Patty Jenkins, no longer appears in the Disney calendar

The situation was, to say the least, uncertain and finally Disney has decided to remove “Rogue Squadron” from its upcoming release schedule. The film, which was initially due to be released for Christmas next year, was already having scheduling problems due to the busy schedule of its director, Patty Jenkins, who was trying to better organize her priorities. So at the end of last year there was talk of a pause in the production of this ‘Star Wars’ film due to the volume of work of the aforementioned director.

“Wonder Woman 3” for Warner and the Cleopatra movie for Paramount would finally catch Jenkins’ attention. This director tried to organize herself, abandoning the direction of ‘Cleopatra’, a film of which she is now only the producer, to give priority to her galactic project; but it seems that the matter has not coagulated. Therefore, although it was already known that the “Rogue Squadron” would be delayed because Jenkins was stopped “develop the script” in the words of Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm; many have interpreted this change as a cancellation. The truth is that painting is not doing well since this film has completely disappeared from the calendar, but this is not the first film project of the saga that falters without finishing dying.

The most notable example in this regard is the trilogy signed by Rian Johnson, director of “The Last Jedi”, movies you should “find the time” for. “I stayed in touch with Kathleen [Kennedy] and we meet often to talk about it. It is simply a matter of balancing the schedules and looking for the gap. If I couldn’t go back to “Star Wars” at some point and the project failed, it would break my heart.”Johnson himself recently stated.

The case of Johnson’s collaboration is the most striking, but it’s all so hanging in the air that, despite having an imminent “Star Wars” date on the horizon for Disney, there’s no telling what movie that hole would be for. On December 19, 2025, a new galactic adventure would be released in theatersand although nothing concrete has been announced, everything indicates that it would be the proposal that ‘Taika Waititi’ is developing (“Thor: Ragnarok”, “Jojo Rabbit”). At this point anyone risks making predictions.

a lot of uncertainty

There are those who are happy to assume that “Rogue Squadron” is a cancellation, then there are those who choose to remain confident because they truly believe our favorite faraway galaxy needs films that don’t focus on Skywalkers, and finally the majority reacts by not understanding how Lucasfilm is managing its calendar so badly. It’s clear that ‘Star Wars’ has decided to prioritize its series for Disney +, but that doesn’t mean that many fans feel the need to a clear announcement on the future of the franchise in theaters. We will wait seated.

I think it’s odd behavior to hold WW84 against Patty Jenkins whenever Rogue Squadron or any other project she’s involved in is mentioned. IMO it’s not even a bad movie, but Monster and WW are great. A critically criticized film is not the sum of a director’s past or future.

* “I find it strange to accuse Patty Jenkins by mentioning ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ whenever ‘Rogue Squadron’ or any other project she’s involved in is mentioned. In my opinion, it’s not even a bad movie, and ‘Monster’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ are Fantastic. A film that has been crushed by critics does not represent the entire past or future of a director. “.

Hoping Rogue Squadron hasn’t actually been canceled, I was looking forward to another movie that didn’t revolve around Skywalkers and the Force. #Star Wars

I’ll be optimistic and say that the official elimination of Rogue Squadron from the program means they may be ready to announce what’s * to * come.

Does Lucasfilm really need to stop announcing Star Wars movie projects? Everyone has been sidelined or left in limbo. Rogue Squadron (recently removed from Disney’s upcoming list) is the latest victim on a LONG list.
