Although I’m personally somewhat indifferent to both Rangers of the New Republic and the Rogue Squadron movie I agree with the broad strokes of what EckhartsLadder had to say on the matter;

Rangers of the New Republic Likely CANCELLED… I’m so tired of the BS

I agree that it can be hard to get excited for new SW projects now that it has become apparent that most of Lucasfilm’s future plans is just a case of spitballing and half of it could end up being scrapped. I get that projects can be announced based purely on a plot outline and maybe some loose pre-production work, but at least The Book of Boba Fett wasn’t announced without it being clear that it was being made. Sometimes it’s better to keep a planned project secret, or at least vague, until you know it’s going to get made. F.ex. if Taika Waitit’s SW film gets cancelled I can’t say I’d be too annoyed as I have absolutely no idea what his plans were (if there even were any). But the moment you announce a series/movie with a name, a setting, a theme, a known character, etc. and then it gets canned, well, that feels like a bit of a waste of time and fan involvement.
