    Now I'm just hoping that The Force Awakens doesn't delve into the x-wing and TIE stuff too much. I want it to be special when the spin-off hits screens, but seeing a ton of x-wings and TIEs the previous year could spoil the spectacle a bit.

    Whitta's on Twitter saying he is the one that came up with the title. Funny, I don't see his credit anywhere in the press release.

    I doubt Mr. Lawson will come back for this. He's been pretty adamant against Star Wars and turned down a role in Episode VII.

    I don't see why he would lie about it.

    I really like the title, I would absolutely love it if it was a X-wing movie, but I'm not going to be too hopeful as to not have my hopes dashed if it's not.

    While I do think it makes sense for it to be a Rogue Squadron movie, rogue could mean something else.

    My brothers first reaction when I told him the first spinoff is called Rogue One was: "sounds like a gay bar" lol

    Time to fire up my old copy of X-Wing Alliance and blast away at some TIEs.

    I hope they don't go with the "Star Wars Cinematic Universe".

    Rogue One is basically another name for Rogue Leader, and there's only one character in the Star Wars films that was ever referred to by that call sign....and that's Luke Skywalker.

    Not getting hopes up...but this standalone film has got to be at least heavily influenced by Luke, and perhaps Wedge =D=

    At last. I hope this is X-wings and Rogue Squadron as the comics were pretty fun. As long as it's done justice we're fine.


    /out of the box idea this is a CW movie because Anakin's callsign in ROTS was Rogue five <tedious link> /I can still wish we get more CW./

    I am so, so, so excited for this. A brilliant idea imo. Also, way out of left field.

    And I know it sounds out there, but I could see her being Luke's love interest if it is post-RotJ.

    I would LOVE for this flick to be abut Rogue Squadron, but at this point I would be surprised if it isn't more bounter hunter centered. Rogue = smuggler = gangster = nerf-herder.

    Or whoever took ever as Rogue Leader after Luke left.

    This literally sounds like the Star Wars movie I have always wanted after watching the trilogy and reading the novels.

    Less Jedi super hero knockoffs and more military sci fi action with fighter pilots and stuff.

    It would be sweet if Mark Hamill and Dennis Lawson could be in this even for small roles but like someone said earlier Lawson was pretty firm about not wanting to return. Maybe they can persuade him with money like they did Harrison "I'm in it for the money sister" Ford

    They are making a Star Wars Starfighter film. A film about being a starfighter. ^:)^

    Will be pretty badass if it turns out to be a military fighter pilot film. Lots of heart pounding dogfights in space. Si-Fi nerds wet dream. =P~

    Luke wasn't rogue leader in the battle of Yavin, I think he was rogue five.
