It’s clear that Rogue Squadron is not a top priority at Lucasfilm, but the project isn’t completely dead yet, either. IGN later reported that Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy had spoken to them at Star Wars Celebration and told them that Rogue Squadron is “something that we still talk about.” Kennedy mentioned that the movie could happen at some point in the future or get retooled into a streaming series.

Jenkins’ direction of the Wonder Woman movies was defined by expelling the word “cheesy” from her vocabulary and telling the story with real sincerity.
