Transcript

00:00Patty Jenkins' Star Wars feature project, Rogue Squadron, has been delayed.

00:04Jenkins' involvement in the movie was first revealed during Disney's Investor Day in December 2020.

00:09In a video accompanying the news, the Wonder Woman director said her fighter pilot father,

00:13who lost his life while serving in the military, was her inspiration for the project.

00:17It ignited a desire in me to turn all of that tragedy and thrill

00:23into one day making the greatest fighter pilot movie of all time.

00:27Now Jenkins and writer Matthew Robinson have been developing the movie for Lucasfilm for over a year

00:32with the goal of starting production in 2022. However, sources say that Jenkins' schedule and

00:36other commitments wouldn't allow for the window needed to make the movie in 2022. The hope is

00:41that once the filmmaker fulfills her previous commitments, she will be able to return to the

00:45project. It's unclear what if any of Jenkins' commitments were at issue specifically, but she

00:49is in development on Wonder Woman 3 for Warner Brothers and a Cleopatra feature for Paramount.

00:54Rogue Squadron would have been the first feature since the end of the Skywalker trilogy,

00:58which wrapped up with 2019's Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker.

01:03The Force brought us together.

01:10We're not alone.
