Rogue Squadron is a planned American space opera film directed by Patty Jenkins from a screenplay by Matthew Robinson. Produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film was set to be part of the Star Wars franchise. Rogue Squadron introduces a new generation of starfighter pilots.

The film was announced in December 2020, with Jenkins attached as the first female director of a Star Wars film. She was working with Robinson on the screenplay by then, with filming planned to begin in early 2022. Production was indefinitely delayed in November 2021 due to Jenkins' commitments to other projects. It was no longer in active development by March 2023.

Premise[edit]

Rogue Squadron introduces a new generation of starfighter pilots who must "earn their wings and risk their lives".[1]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

At The Walt Disney Company's Investor Day on December 10, 2020, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced that the next Star Wars film would be titled Rogue Squadron, with Patty Jenkins on board as director.[1] Jenkins is the first female director of a Star Wars film.[2] Jenkins was "friendly" with Kennedy while visiting the set of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) due to crew members from that film also working on her own film, Wonder Woman 1984 (2020). When Lucasfilm asked if she would be interested in directing a Star Wars film, Jenkins said it would depend on the story. She agreed to direct Rogue Squadron due to its focus on starfighter pilots,[3] as her father was a fighter pilot for the United States Air Force and she had always wanted to make "the greatest fighter pilot movie of all time".[3][4] Jenkins said she felt pressure from the Star Wars fan base to make sure the film was good, but she had experience with the pressure of being a big franchise's first female director after directing Wonder Woman (2017) and Wonder Woman 1984.[3]

At the time of the film's announcement, Jenkins revealed that she had been working on it with an unannounced writer for around six months,[4][5] and they had almost finished a treatment for the film which she considered to be "fairly close to a well-along screenplay".[4] Jenkins said the film would tell an original story but with "great influence" from the 1990s' Rogue Squadron video game series and books, which featured a team of starfighter pilots formed by Luke Skywalker to fight the Empire.[6] Lucasfilm described the film as a "high-speed thrill-ride", and said it would "move the [Star Wars] saga into the future era of the galaxy".[1] Matthew Robinson was revealed to be the film's writer in June 2021,[7] and Jenkins said a month later that they were finishing the script and beginning to hire crew members. She noted that she was "fairly free" to tell the story that she wanted to tell, but the development process for the film involved a lot of consultation with Lucasfilm to ensure that it aligned narratively and visually with previous and upcoming Star Wars projects.[5] Pre-production was scheduled to begin in late 2021 ahead of a filming start in early 2022,[7] but production for the film was indefinitely delayed in November 2021 due Jenkins' commitments to other projects. The film's release date was not changed at that time.[8]

In May 2022, the film was expected to come after a different planned Star Wars film that was being co-written and directed by Taika Waititi.[9] In December, Jenkins said she was actively working on it amid the apparent cancellation of Wonder Woman 3.[10] Rogue Squadron was no longer in active development by March 2023.[11]

Release[edit]

Rogue Squadron was scheduled for release on December 22, 2023.[7] On September 15, 2022, the film was confirmed to be taken off from Disney's release schedule.[12]
