There was even an incredible teaser with director Patty Jenkins suiting up to pilot her own X-wing, and telling us about her dad's past as a fighter pilot and how much this story means to her. But, as years went by, news about that movie started dwindling, until it was removed from Lucasfilm's slate of upcoming projects and sent back into development.- https://collider.com/star-wars-starfighter-ryan-gosling-rogue-squadron-payback/
