On Twitter, the writer indicated that he and co-writer Chris Weitz were in talks about a film in which the Rebels would go hunting for the remnants of the Galactic Empire after the events of Return of the Jedi , although he noted that the plan remained at the stage of talks.
Years ago, my Rogue One co-writer Chris Weitz and I had a cool idea for a TV show about a Mossad-style Rebel team hunting down Imperial war criminals who escaped and disappeared after the fall of the Empire. Could have been a nice ending to Rogue One . But we never did.

The spin-off about how ex-Rebels deal with the transition from the control of the Galactic Empire has a lot of plot possibilities, which probably led to the initial announcement of the Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic series .
The series was announced in 2020, but details about the narrative were kept secret . Viewers first encountered such organizations in The Mandalorian . At the time, reports claimed that Gina Carano would be starring in the series, with her Cara Dune becoming the focal point of the narrative along with the other Guardians. Shortly after the project was announced, Carano was released from her contract with Lucasfilm, and the future of Rangers of the New Republic was in doubt. Probably in the years since its announcement, the studio has completely moved away from this concept.
