‘Star Wars’: Patty Jenkins to direct ‘Rogue Squadron’ movie

“Wonder Woman 1984” director Patty Jenkins is heading to a galaxy far, far, away directing “Rogue Squadron” a new “Star Wars” movie.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy made the announcement at The Walt Disney Company’s Investor Day 2020 Thursday.

Few details for the film were made available beyond the release date, Christmas 2023.

Jenkins vowed to make the “greatest fighter pilot movie of all time” in a clip shared on Twitter where she was seen boarding an X-wing fighter.

“The Legend of Rogue Squadron” has been “long beloved by ‘Star Wars’ fans,” Kennedy said in the presentation, promising to move the franchise to “a future era of the galaxy.”
