Discussion ROGUE SQUADRON - Patty Jenkins Film Potentially Back On

Because Star Wars isn't a big galaxy as people claim it is....It's a small one

Like Marvel and the MCU.

So basically blame Marvel for this ;p

 

Yes.

 

The small Galaxy syndrome.

 

Poe would be a good character to drive RS if it's post TROS - I mean why not why would you not utilise Poe and BB8 as familiar characters - all Disney Star Wars movies so far have used familiar characters, why would they change it now and have all new characters?

 

I mean who cares right? Star Wars is a shlocky galaxy anyway with divine intervention.

Honestly I think people complaining about Small Galaxy syndrome is just a big nitpick and not a real problem.

 

I Poe most likley just be a cameo role.

 

Just throw Wedge in there. I was against it at first, but honestly, just do it. Have a mentor pilot that the fans can say, “Oh look, there’s Wedge!” and all the normal, emotionally well adjusted other people in the audience can go, “I’ve never seen that character before in my life!”

 

I mean that's why i think it's likely post TROS story just so they can do that.

 

She is absolutely correct here and I'm rooting for her harder now:

 

That's a pretty superficial standard, IMO. And insulting to some really good directors who've made films released by streaming services. And I'm sorry. Though Monster was quite good, and the first Wonder Woman was decent, I think you might want to achieve "legendary greatness" before complaining about other people not creating legendary greatness...

But that's just me.

 

Yeah, I really disagree with her here. And, I have to say, it really does read as a petty attack full of sour grapes. So yeah, my estimation of her as a person has actually gone down a notch or two after reading these pretty insulting comments.

 

Is there any word on a release date yet? Top Gun just got pushed back to May 2022, it would be cool if they could get some kind of fighter pilot synergy going between them.

 

Finally got around to Monster for the first time a few weeks ago, and while it's the furthest thing from a Star Wars story, it's certainly indicative of Patty's talent for eliciting compelling performances from complex characters. Once again, I am asking for a reunion with Charlize Theron.

 

This movie feels sooo far away.

 

although I don't agree with Patty on this I don't think its fair to make this a platform for picking on her Wonder Woman sequel. me and my family loved WW84 I loved the Washington DC stuff in the Smithsonian because I grew up in the Washington DC Baltimore area! and the Villain was basically Trump and with all the crazy politics that was going on when the movie came out it really hit home but it had a feel good happy ending with the Wonder Woman from the TV Show!

also lets not forget that Steven Spielberg has a deal with Netflix with Amblin and Stephen King has a Hulu deal Abrams almost had either a Netflix or Apple streaming deal but they fell through he got a Warner Media deal Warner Brothers! so Directors and Producers in Hollywood are into the streaming industry!

 

I haven't been following this thread closely so I'm sure it's already been discussed, but has anyone had second thoughts about Jenkins after Wonder Woman 84 debacle? I think it's clear there were other people on an executive level who were also vital in making the first one the huge success that it was and she had complete control over 84.

 

Ugh. I have no idea what Lucasfilm and Disney see in this hack.

 

Well she was hired before 84 came out, so if you just look at the first Wonder Woman I can see why they'd hire her. However I do think it's clear she wasn't the only factor in the success of that film since they had another talented producer involved and she did not create the story.

 

She was hired at the last minute to do the first Wonder Woman and used another director’s storyboards. I also don’t think she had any input on the script and was basically just a hired gun. She had absolute freedom on the sequel and destroyed the entire franchise. I can’t imagine anyone wants to see a third WW movie after that disaster.

 

I mean I want to see a third, but that's more because Zack Snyder's an absolute genius for casting Gal Gadot in the part. I would be more than fine with a new director doing the third one though.
