1. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron

Perhaps the biggest announcement of Lucasfilm's presentation however was Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, a brand new, feature-length film being helmed by Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.

Jenkins described her personal attachment to the project in a video posted out on Twitter, where she rollerblades and boards an X-Wing (seriously, go watch it), stating that she's been determined to make the ultimate fighter pilot movie ever since she saw her dad fly F4s for the US Air Force - and tragically pass away - when she was growing up.

Of course, Rogue Squadron is the most important starfighter group in Star Wars history. Led by Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles after the Battle of Yavin, the band of Rebel fighter pilots became heroes in the fight against the Empire.

It's unclear when specifically Rogue Squadron will take place (it could be during or after the Original Trilogy), or even which characters it'll focus on, but Patty Jenkins and Star Wars is a winning combination, and one sure to excite fans of 2016's Rogue One.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
