In a very real surprise Patty Jenkins, who was announced as the director for a “Top Gun”-esque “Star Wars” movie called “Rogue Squadron” back in 2020, says the movie isn’t completely dead.

She revealed on Ben Mankiewicz’s “Talking Pictures” podcast (via IGN) that the project was simply paused. “When I left ‘Star Wars’ to do ‘Wonder Woman 3,’ and I started working on that, we talked about, ‘Well, maybe I’ll come back to Star Wars after ‘Wonder Woman 3,’ so we started a deal for that to happen,” Jenkins explained. “When ‘Wonder Woman 3’ then went away Lucasfilm and I were like ‘Oh, we’ve got to finish this deal.’
