Anyone who grew up playing a lot of the great 90s video games probably has fond memories of playing Rogue Squadron on the N64. This game was a massive success, so much so that its sequel was one of the first released games for Nintendos GameCube in 2001. Captained by Wedge Antilles, Rogue Squadron was made up of the Rebel Alliances best fighter pilots who took on the hard missions no one else could complete. A group of young, hotshot pilots who are some of the galaxys best fighter pilots could more than hold the attention of audiences for a feature length film as theyd get into several space fights. Rogue Squadron could present a different type of movie than Star Wars fans are used to seeing, one that would focus more squarely on battle tactics and the lives of these pilots rather than the big spectacles the pilots get into. The film could also make a point to focus on how Rogue Squadron operated as a black-ops team, mixing the science fiction and spy thriller genres together. Spies are hardly ever seen or talked about in the Star Wars films; heck, even The Clone Wars series didnt delve too much into the Republic's espionage operations so this would be a perfect chance to explore the Alliance's espionage tactics, either during or after the civil war. One thing is for certain though: if a Rogue Squadron movie were made, audiences would get very satisfying space battles not seen since the Original Trilogy while fully utilizing today's special effects capabilities.
