Today at The Walt Disney Company’s Investor Day event, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced a staggering number of new films, series, and surprises that will expand the Star Wars galaxy like never before.
Rogue Squadron
The next Star Wars feature film will be Rogue Squadron — directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman franchise). The story will introduce a new generation of starfighter pilots as they earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill-ride, and move the saga into the future era of the galaxy.
“It’s been a lifelong dream as a filmmaker to one day make a great fighter pilot film,” said Jenkins. “As the daughter of a great fighter pilot myself, some of the best memories of my life are of seeing my father’s squadron take
Star Wars Insider issue 199 is headed to a newsstand or mailbox near you, featuring, among other stories, an exciting new interview with actor Ahmed Best! Today, StarWars.com has an exclusive sneak peek of the article, written by Mark Newbold, in which Best takes a look back on his experience playing the charmingly clumsy Gungan Jar Jar Binks and reflects on his recent role in the Star Wars Kids series Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge.

It all started with an idea back in 2014 from Lucasfilm Publishing creative director Michael Siglain to bring together a group of authors to define a new era in the Star Wars galaxy. In 2019, creative retreats began at Skywalker Ranch with the five authors, Lucasfilm Publishing, and Lucasfilm
When Temuera Morrison first suited up as Boba Fett for The Mandalorian, it was a long time coming for the actor.
“There were moments when I put the armor on and I was looking at [executive producers] Dave [Filoni] and Jon [Favreau], and the expression on their faces just said it all,” he tells StarWars.com. “It felt good. It felt right. It felt like, ‘Yes, I should be wearing this costume.’ And it gave me this sense of, ‘I’m back.’”
