Discussion ROGUE SQUADRON - Patty Jenkins Film Potentially Back On

IIRC, it's been said it will be more like a kind of "Top Gun in the GFFA" sort of thing. I don't imagine there'd be much room for politics/government goings-on if that's the case.

I agree. I think they will want to get a solid direction together for anything post-TROS before releasing it. At least I sure hope so-this may mean there could be a trilogy with an actual laid out three-part story! Wouldn't that be something!

 

Only 945 days to go!

 

Filoni is probarly involved in this in someway as he is now acreative director of lucasfilm, Maybe some certain cameos in this like Rey.

 

Do we even have a clue of the time stamp of this project? Between ROTJ and TFA? Before ANH? During the OT? After the ST?

 

Every time this question gets asked, I die inside a little bit.

 

What if it's before TPM

 

X-Wings come in cycles, don't you know? Inevitably, we always just make them. This is set thousands of years before TMP, of course.

 

Hey, do you know when Rogue Squadron is set?

 

It’s a crime against humanity not to be able to ignore mods

 

Well, you could have stayed on as a mod and tried to become an admin, to remove any mod who would annoy you, so you only have yourself to blame

 

Hey now, I gave up my power to be a man of the people, not unlike the lowly, wretched masses. My humility knows no bounds.

 

Like I say, this film is probably set during the OT, so no cameos from Rey et al, but yes... I'd imagine if it's set in an appropriate time setting, we may get cameos from Ahsoka, Andor, Hera etc.

 

replaying Star Wars Squadrons something Wedge said in the game made me think about it. He said that while he was assigned to Project Starhawk, Rogue Squadron was assigned to a classified op as well. So it could be set then In between Endor and Jakku. I would love to have it set after the events of Episode IX.

 

My big things are either Post TROS or at the very least post TLJ pre TROS so somewhere in the ST era setting.

 

I think we shouldn't take that too literally. Moving the saga 'into a future era of the galaxy' could mean a 'future era' not already explored in live action films i.e. the next set of live action films could be set in the period post ROTJ, but pre The Mandalorian. It doesn't necessarily mean 'future era' in terms of the SW timeline, but rather in terms of the production of new films. And of course, this wouldn't be up for argument if they'd have chosen an ST era X-Wing for the logo, rather than an OT era X-Wing (seemingly).

 

THANK YOU

 

Lol, that's what I'm wondering too - but I won't be surprised it could end up in the years after ROTJ and before TFA... Centering on the fledgling Republic training a new bunch of X-Wing pilots to be the first line of defense against a sinister new threat rising up from the ruins of the fallen Empire (i.e. what would become known as the First Order)...

 

I'm just playing devils advocate... But "future era" is rather subjective, depending on what content one is currently viewing e.g. The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch etc. They *could* have just said 'a new era set after the events of The Skywalker Saga'.... which would have been more definitive and more in line with their franchise marketing. They *could* have used a logo which more accurately represented the silhouette of an ST era X-Wing. They *could* have had Patty Jenkins walking towards an ST era X-Wing, in her ST era X-Wing pilot outfit... I dunno? Maybe they only had OT props to hand, and didn't think getting the logo accurate, for the next live action film, was worth the time/effort?
