Wonder Woman's Patty Jenkins is Directing a Rogue Squadron Movie

Unless the Disney CEO/top brass have been meddling in her hiring decisions, which there's been no evidence of that I'm aware of, she's been the single decision maker in terms of overall creative direction, so, yeah, given that I only like one out of the six live-action Disney SW productions so far, it's only logical for me to criticize her performance in terms of overall creative output. But, since you were trying to find sexism where there was none, you blatantly misrepresented what I'd said.
Not at all, simply misunderstood.
And on a side not, I fixed my last post so it's not in a massive quote box.
 
Hmm.. Maybe her messy public exit made some waves in Disney and caused the boss intervene with lucasfilm..
 
Rogue Squadron hasn't been officially pulled so it's likely they couldn't admit just yet they won't be making the movie. I would love to be wrong though and the whole Rogue Squadron thing was a misunderstanding or even a conflict they resolved.
 
Yeah, I don't know where people are getting these funny ideas from, but at no point did anyone officially say that Jenkins was out or that the movie was cancelled. They just bumped it back down the schedule because pre-production was taking longer than expected, and she had other commitments (mostly WW3) that had to take priority in the short term.
This kind of thing happens all the time. It's really not a big deal.
 
Your doing the internet wrong. You are suppose to know EVERYTHING and make it part of your life!
" I have always been of the opinion that a man who desires to get on the Internet should know either everything or nothing. Which do you know?"


" I know nothing."

With due apologies to Oscar Wilde.
 
I know almost nothing except that Tuvik was brutally murdered, Starfleet is a military and uses money and Han shot first. Everything else is theory.
 
Disagree, hard. It's a everyman hero story, but instead of wide eyed Luke it's jaded Han Solo as the lead. It plays with trope after trope in ways that are only additive because of the Underworld/organized crime setting. If it were not for frequent guest stars to make fans oh and ah over them it would be even more lackluster.

It's all Western tropes repackaged. Disney at its finest couldn't have spun it so well.
You're not wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed both seasons of Mando and I'm looking forward to the BoBF and Ahsoka spinoffs.
You can't really make a movie or TV show nowadays without relying on tropes. It's how you tell the story, how you show your characters developing that makes or breaks something.
TFA could have been a great movie. If someone has the time and patience to recut TFA and TLJ, you can bring out fantastic 1.5 hour films for each. The way they were presented on screen, it wasn't just the tropes, its that it didn't feel like there was a cohesive beginning, middle and end. It was sort of the spaghetti method of filmmaking.
Mandalorien at least, is a more tightly written and fresher take on the universe. Is it perfect? Far from it. I'd personally axe the spider episode in S2 in favor of more Bo Katan. But for me, it was a lot more fun than the ST.

There was no messy public exit.
There was a single article, written by this Matthew Belloni with a lot of axes to grind. High in speculation and little in facts.
 
damn.
Hope they project isn't dead, just delayed, maybe retooled as a mini series?
Was really looking forward to a pilot film within a SciFi theme.
 
I wonder if any of the announced Star Wars movies will ever actually come out.

It's definitely going to happen. Just like Rian Johnson's trilogy.

According to Rian, sure. But Kathleen commented the other day that there is nothing cinematic on the table for Star Wars at the moment, or something like those words. It boils down to the fact that they're working on streaming right now.
Sure, Rian's trilogy could possibly become a streaming thing. But I felt Kathleen really ment that no movies are being discussed right now, only shows.

Making money.
 
So the executive who thought flushing the characters and narrative legacy of the Original Trilogy down the loo, and the co-writer of the massively misguided Wonder Woman 1984, can't seem to get Top Gun: In Space to take flight, even after Paramount just showed the world what a slam-dunk, can't-lose proposition that is? I wish I could say I was surprised.

Or maybe the Disney brass is secretly so intent on resetting Star Wars' cinematic future without Kennedy that they're holding off on greenlighting any more movies until a successor is appointed? That's an evidence-free guess on my part, but it at least seems plausible.
 
I think they are just going where the money is at. Streaming is making them money, and they can do a variety of things with it. Same with Trek films. Films involve greater risk right now, and streaming is guaranteeing the company money. Even if people hate what they watch they still subscribe to the service.
