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

- Start date
With the push for the Holiday Special would thus surprise you?
Being "jack of all trades" is exactly what turned me off SAAB. You don't get to have jarhead grunts also be hotshot navy fighter pilots and visa-versa. As anyone that's spent *any* time around pilots and soldiers will tell you; those are entirely different mindsets and skillsets, to say nothing of the disparity of resource investment between elite pilots and commandos vs. frontline risk. Even from a storytelling perspective; soldiers, even elite special forces soldiers are natural underdogs. They're the ones knowingly jumping into the meat grinder. Pilots on the other hand are anything but the underdogs. The archetypes are entirely antithetical.
If you want to do a military drama that specifically focuses on ground and air/space ops, then it's both more credible and more dramatically interesting to have two separate groups of specialists that have to work together, than just the one group of unreasonably hyper-capable generalists. Also at that point you're just doing less interesting Jedi and/or Mandalorians anyway.
Regardless; I don't think they'd go that way as it would cut into whatever leftover elements from 'Rangers of the New Republic' that are getting folded into Mando season 4, assuming Adelphi will have a larger role going forwards.
If they're going to to a movie/show about X-Wing pilots, then it's going to be about X-Wing pilots. No point diluting the novelty.

'Wingman - An X-Wing Story | Star Wars Fan Film | 2023' - a 50 minute youtube video, from 'Michael's basement':-
^ For those of us who remember a lot of the OT & old EU - along with the old X-wing/Tie-Fighter games that came with it - this 50 minute fan film has some quality old vibes...
(and very some impressive production values, acting, cinematography, editing, and special effects - for a pro-level production... let alone for a fan film)

great, just great. That last Wonder Woman 1984 directed by her tanks big times w/ huge $ loss
Which had more to do with the fact that it had the misfortune of being released at a time when a lot of theatres were closed across North America. You know, because of that bit of unpleasantness that we had to deal with three to four years ago.
but when I watch it on blu-ray, the script sucks, it's the same script as that movie Wishmaster, the whole movie shouldn't have anything to do w/ super hero, or Marvel, it's stupid. It's a re-run of Wishmaster. Even if all the cinema are open, I seriously doubt anyone would watch it
Wonder Woman is DC, not Marvel.
Patty Jenkins says she’s still attached to the movie

I was not aware thr writers were the same for this movie.
Sounds promising, but realistically, it's "in development". She's contracted to provide the story, which still doesn't exist (yet). From there, it would still have to be "green lit" by the studio. At least it's being worked on and not "shelved", so that's encouraging.
Does this mean she's presently drawing a paycheck of some kind or other to work on the project?
Hmm. I have this strange feeling that if I held my breath waiting for this to happen, I wouldn't make it.
So I'm not holding my breath.
So I'm not holding my breath.
She has a contract with Lucasfilm/Disney signed just before the strike, so, yes, she's drawing a paycheck.
Edited to Add: The trades are now reporting basically what was said in the podcast:

Watched 1984 again.
Kristin Wig was superb, until they turned her into a kitty cat. Did she trade Charisma for Intelegence?
"I want to be like Diana."
Instantly everyone adores her for no reason.
Is that one of Wonder Woman's superpowers?
Rohypnol BO?
