(Do we really want to see a digitally de-aged Mark Hamill every week?) Instead, a Rogue Squadron series centered on Wedge but set in the Mando era could be perfect. Because Luke Skywalker formed the squadron following the Battle of Yavin, and the founding members were basically just him and Wedge Antilles, it might be tricky to do a TV show centered on a classic-trilogy-era Luke. The setting of a hypothetical Rogue Squadron TV series could dovetail nicely with the timeline of other, Mandalorian-era shows. And while at least one pilot from these Legends stories (Coran Horn) became a Jedi, the Force never overpowers the other story elements in the Rogue Squadron tales. In both the novels and the Dark Horse Comics, the development of individual squadron members created a wonderfully diverse ensemble that is arguably unparalleled in other self-contained Star Wars stories. But from a storytelling perspective, adventures focused on the exploits of starfighter pilots in the Star Wars universe would also make wonderful material for a TV series.Ĭase in point? Arguably the most successful and interesting Star Wars novel series that wasn’t focused on a main character from the movies is the Rogue Squadron/X-Wing novels and comic books published between 19. It makes sense that Lucasfilm originally wanted to depict epic starfighter battles on the big screen. Here’s why Rogue Squadron should be reimagined as a Disney+ show and make the dreams of Star Wars fans everywhere come true. But what if Rogue Squadron was never destined to be a movie? According to Variety, Disney has pulled Rogue Squadronfrom its upcoming release schedule.

Lock S-Foils in attack position! It looks like the Patty Jenkins-directed Rogue Squadron Star Wars standalone movie won’t make the jump to hyperspace anytime soon.
