Speaking to API, filmmaker Patty Jenkins says Star Wars: Rogue Squadron will user in a new era for Star Wars.
“The Michael Stackpole books and the video games and all of the ‘Rogue Squadron’ books, there’s an incredible history that’s really important to honor. And yet, it must be brought to a new age, because we have to tell a new story with it and so you’re trying to blend the best of everything and make it the great fighter-pilot movie, which I’ve always wanted to make, as well. It’s a big brew of things that you’re trying to put together and still try to keep a simple story.”
