THR are reporting that the production of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron has been delayed due to Patty Jenkins’ schedule and other commitments, and this may result in the first Star Wars feature film since 2019 being pushed back.
Jenkins and writer Matthew Robinson have been developing Squadron for Lucasfilm for over a year, with the goal of starting production in 2022. It was to have gone into preproduction by the end of this year.
However, sources say the producers and filmmaking team came to the realization that Jenkins’ schedule and other commitments wouldn’t allow for the window needed to make the movie in 2022.
Thus, Squadron has been taken off the production schedule. The hope is that once Jenkins’ fulfills her previous commitments, she will be able to return to the project.
Until we hear from Disney/Lucasfilm to the contrary, we currently expect Star Wars: Rogue Squadron to take flight in December 2023.
