Every movie George Lucas makes is extremely personal. That’s obvious in films like American Graffiti, which is set in Lucas’ hometown of Modesto, California and follows a group of teenagers who love cruising in their cars just like he did as a teen. But even his Star Wars movies are personal as well. Lucas saw himself in Luke Skywalker, the farm boy from a remote little town in the middle of nowhere (i.e. Modesto) who yearns of leaving his home for a big life full of adventure. But the parallels don’t stop there. Believe it or not, the much-maligned Star Wars prequels also contain tons of elem...

In an appearance on TCM’s Talking Pictures podcast, Jenkins told host Ben Mankiewicz she was still working on a script for Rogue Squadron. The film was previously presumed to be canceled, along with several other announced-but-unshot Star Wars films of recent years. In Jenkins’ case, she left the film to develop a third Wonder Woman film — but then that project wound up falling apart. “When I left Star Wars to do Wonder Woman 3, and I starte...
