Rogue Squadron (Patty Jenkins, Christmas 2023)
- Thread starter Ezekiel
- Start date
Okay, this should be blowing my mind, but... how are they going to do Rogue Squadron after writing Wedge Antilles' involvement in Rogue Squadron post-Hoth out of canon?
No, the thread I read didn't have any article. It's still the same age or time period. If we're talking about a span of many years. Like the Middle Ages or the Victorian era. They're so afraid to leave the original aesthetic. I think it would breathe some fresh life into the series.

Oh, looks like I may get my wish after all should be fun..."after Rise of Skywalker"...what? Who are they going to fight then, the Empire has been destroyed two times over at this point!
There are a bunch of other projects.

"When I left you, I was but the learner..."
They sure love their retcons.
Future Lucasfilm Projects Revealed
Get ready for Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron film, an Ahsoka Tano live-action series, the return of Hayden Christensen and much, much more.

Making Vader and Obi-Wan meet between the two trilogies is such a bad idea.
"When I left you, I was but the learner..."

The even greater and more secreter Empire ruled by the true og Sith that's always been there manipulating everything from the shadows, of course.
There's an endless conga line of those, just waiting for a brave writer to pull one out of his rectum.
They just roll out Palpatine's corpse again, because remember, no one is ever really gone.
The problem is that every time they have moved away from the OT timeframe, they just rehash it again. I've lost count of the number of "Like the Empire But.." variants they've established in the timeline. They have a planet killer of some variation, they are led by some sith force users, and a mixture of jedi/non-jedi, rally together to beat them. So frankly, I don't really care when they set any of this stuff, because it doesn't seem to actually mean they will write anything different.
I do agree that always orbiting the OT, so they can make references to give the fanboys a callback orgasm, get's really tiring (the worst culprit of this being Rogue One), but I mean....shit even in the Old Republic, they would still constantly make "i've got a bad feeling about this" and "hope" references, and have characters that are carbon copies of the OT cast. So yeah, they just recycle the same shit ad naseum, because it sells.
I mean, that's all the old books in a nutshell too. Always another sith, always another warlord, always another sun crusher
[QUOTE="Ezekiel, post: 70533, member: 261" Wish they'd jump to another age.

So do I. I think it would be interesting to see what they could do with a universe set several hundred or thousand years after the OT age. That would be plenty of time for new force users groups to emerge (other than Jedi and Sith), new governments and factions to rise to power and for the events of the movies to fade into myth and legend.

Right, hence why it doesn't really bother me TOO much when they keep orbiting the OT timeline, and just rehash the same stories for fan service. Because even when they go back 5 THOUSAND YEARS....it's still the same template.
Found Monster (2003) very good and Wonder Woman kind of mediocre. Those are the only Patty Jenkins movies I watched. With her 14 year break between Monster and Wonder Woman, she doesn't have enough of a filmography for me to dislike or like her style. Kind of wish she would go back to smaller projects, though.
When I heard the news, I originally thought that Hayden would be playing Anakin in flashbacks, or perhaps some Force vision. But what they said sure sounds like they'll be meeting as Ben Kenobi and Vader, and I am definitely not a fan of thought. But we can still have some hope I guess. I would like to see Hayden taking cues from Clone Wars and make live action Anakin actually likeable.
Anyway, yeah I'm not entirely sold on Patty Jenkins. I liked Wonder Woman, but upon rewatching it, a lot of the enjoyment I got out of the movie was just seeing Wonder Woman brought to life. The new Wonder Woman movie looks a little off. Oh well, if Wonder Woman 2 bombs we can fully expect to see her getting sacked, like the GoT writers and Colin Trevorrow.
