Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins will helm a new Star Wars movie about the elite X-wing pilots known as Rogue Squadron. The forthcoming film will premiere Christmas 2023.

As Jenkins explained in a teaser video announcing the project, she was compelled to direct Star Wars: Rogue Squadron because her own family history. “I grew up the daughter of a great fighter pilot. Everyday I would wake up, go outside, and look up and see my father and his squadron take off in their F4s. And it was the most thrilling thing I’ve experienced in my entire life. When he lost his life in service to this country, it ignited a desire in me to turn all of that tragedy and thrill into one day making the greatest fighter pilot movie of all time.”
“But try as might, and look as I did, I couldn’t find the right story. Until now — now I’ve found a movie about two things I love

I read all of these, too.

The subject matter isn't really exciting to me on it's face but I love Jenkins.

Hello

This is so cooooool

Love that! This one is personal to her.

X-wing for PC circa 1993 was the shiznit

this is different from Rogue One?

Yes.

Also some eagle eyed fan spotted the description says it’s going to push Star Wars into a whole new era so it’s set around or after the sequel trilogy. The x wing in question is a new era x wing too apparently.

I enjoyed Poe's adventures in the Resistance Reborn. Having a film built around these pilots is a fantastic idea. If it is set after the ST, then that is a way to begin introducing new characters and moving on from the Skywalker trilogy.

Though, of course, I hope it ends up involving new jedi's

I hope Corran Horn is in this.

He was my favorite character in all the old Expanded Universe books. And I read them all up until the end of the Yuuzhan Vong storyline. That one was so long it burned me out. I’ve only read one since then and it was the Tarkin book.
