In Kathleen Kennedy’s announcement, she said that Jenkins’ film will explore a new, previously unexplored era of “Star Wars” lore set in the future beyond “The Rise of Skywalker.” In a statement on StarWars.com, Lucasfilm said “Rogue Squadron” will “introduce a new generation of starfighter pilots as they earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill-ride, and move the saga into the future era of the galaxy.” “Rogue Squadron” should be a film without Force users, such as the Jedi and the Sith, and will center around starfighter action instead. In a special teaser, Jenkins, whose next feature “Wonder Woman 1984” is debuting in theaters and on HBO Max on December 25, talked about being the daughter of a fighter pilot and how she’s always loved to go fast. Kinetic thrills should await “Star Wars” fans three years from now — and a lot of space battles. Edited December 11, 2020 by Newtype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
