At the time, Jenkins recognized that the road ahead was long and that her goal was to deliver a film that both she and Lucasfilm They could consider it a source of pride.
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron was planned to follow a new generation of Rebel Alliance pilots as they attempt to become the best squadron in the galaxy.
