✖
During The Walt Disney Company s Investor Day earlier this month, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy surprised audiences when she revealed that
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins would be directing the upcoming
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, and while fans of the franchise didn t see the announcement coming,
Wonder Woman star Chris Pine claims Jenkins told him her plans and that the story will be really great.

Chris Pine Knows Rogue Squadron Story, Will He Lead Patty Jenkins Star Wars Movie?
Patty Jenkins Star Wars: Rogue Squadron sounds really, really great according to Wonder Woman 1984 star Chris Pine.
Star Wars movie,
Rogue Squadron, is all about. The actor revealed what he knows about the mysterious project while discussing his continued adventures alongside the iconic DC superhero, which Jenkins is also behind, stating that if anyone can bring something innovative to a galaxy far, far away, it s her.

Star Wars Tales or those classic books of the Expanded Universe era like
Tales From Jabba’s Palace and
Tales of the Bounty Hunters.
If the show utilizes a framing technique that has Boba reminiscing on his life and career as the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter, we may get to see some fabled moments from the character’s past that will disintegrate (
