Star Wars Rogue Squadron Movie Could Come Back In Some Form, Kathleen Kennedy Says

The canceled Star Wars: Rogue Squadron film that was set to be helmed by director Patty Jenkins could still happen, according to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.

Speaking in an interview with IGN at Star Wars Celebration 2023, Kennedy shared some insight on the canceled project and hinted that it could still make a return in the future, but suggesting not in the same way as originally planned.

"Rogue Squadron, that definitely is something that we still talk about," Kennedy said. "Whether it's a movie, or whether it ends up being in the series space, that's definitely something.

Rogue Squadron was announced back in 2020 with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins set to direct. It was slated for a December 22, 2023 release, however, Lucasfilm quietly removed the film from its production schedule in November 2021. It was later confirmed that both Jenkin's and Kevin Feige's Star Wars films had been shelved and were no longer in active development.

During the Lucasfilm Studio Showcase, three new Star Wars films were announced from directors James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Obaid-Chinoy's film will see the return of Daisy Ridley as Jedi Master Rey 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker. This movie will be set during the era of the New Jedi Order.
