Rogue Squadron

<< < (3/3)

P-Siddy:
Hopefully LFL/Disney rethink this whole concept of a Rogue Squadron movie and make it into a series.  I feel like the creators could explore a lot more of the characters this way than they could in a movie.

Dave:
It sounds like Rogue Squadron is moving forward again with Patty Jenkins.  This could be really cool and I hope it finally makes it out to theaters.

I'm hoping its successful and turns in to a streaming series. 

I always loved the Rogue Squadron comics and think that sort of episodic story arc with a bunch of characters could work really well with D+.

Nicklab:
Interesting!  I think if it's going to be a Rogue Squadron show (either a movie or a series), then it should probably include Wedge Antilles as the central character.  And I think you have to re-cast the role.  He might be seen as a Star Wars luminary - especially since he doesn't just play Wedge, as well as the uncle of Ewan McGregor - but I think there are very few actors in the saga that are indispensible in their roles.

I think how Lucasfilm approached Mon Mothma is the perfect example of what can be done now.  I think it was a very happy accident that Genevieve O'Reilly was cast in the role of Mon Mothma for ROTS, and she reprised the role in ROGUE ONE to great effect.  And then she's gone on to play Mon Mothma in REBELS, ANDOR, and AHSOKA.  I think doing something similar with Wedge's character is probably the right move for a good Rogue Squadron story.  It gives some continuity to things.

Muftak:
I hope beyond hope that sanity prevails and the "Rogue Squadron" project moves to the OT era as well, even if I realize that it will probably not include the characters from Stackpole's very enjoyable novels.

If they move forward with the project as set in the sequel era as it was originally announced I will be much less interested, if only because of the limited appeal of the muddy Resistance/First Order conflict.
