Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars galaxy in a new film directed by Shawn Levy.

Levy, who recently directed and produced Marvel’s hit Deadpool & Wolverine, made a surprise appearance during The Mandalorian and Grogu panel today, joining Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni on stage to confirm his project for the live audience at Star Wars Celebration Japan.

One of several theatrical projects still in development from Lucasfilm, including films by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, Taika Waititi and a new trilogy by Simon Kinberg, Levy’s film — Star Wars: Starfighter — will star Gosling and go into production starting this fall.

Set approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Gosling will play a brand-new character teased by the actor’s appearance on stage.

Star Wars: Starfighter arrives in theaters on Memorial Day 2027.

It's not going to happen.

Could we just merge all the "NEW" Star Wars movie threads into one jumbo thread of KK's lies and BS.

Yeah, it's kinda hard to disagree with the assessment that most of the "upcoming" Star Wars projects won't happen.

Remember how they were going to release a new Star Wars movie every year, which admittedly they did for five years but then ended up not making any more at all? The only one of these projects we know for sure has been made is the Mandalorian movie and assuming that won't see any further delays (which given that this is Disney, is quite possible) will be the first Star Wars movie in seven years. I'm sure more Star Wars movies will come out even if that one underperforms but looking at the history here, I doubt the "one per year" plan will ever resume, so it's just foolish to think the... Let's see here... Ten projects will all come out in any sort of timely manner. If anything almost all of these will get axed in the planning stages. Maybe if the original idea of pumping them out yearly stuck but at this rate it'll literally take 50-70 years and that sure as hell ain't happening. Maybe they'll make a "Trilogy" in a three year sprint, wait another five and then try again, then we'd get ten new movies in 20 years give or take but I'd hardly call that a "timely manner".

Also the title of this... I don't think anyone outside of Sweden cares but it just reminds of a kids' show that parodies stuff like Star Wars.

The bus-shaped spacecraft parodies Spaceballs, which in turn parodies Star Wars.

So it'll be set a few years after Episode IX and may include some ST characters.

It must be a really good script, I mean somehow this and the third season of the mandalorian are somehow the two movies that will relaunch Star Wars?
Sad the star wars state is.

Aw sh**... it's going to lead into the Rey movie/trilogy.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-01-2025, 12:57 AM

Uh oh... they had to completely redo the ending. Maybe they were forced by the top to NOT include Rey there?

Gosling is a pretty good actor and BR2049 is still one of my favorite flicks of all time. But with that said, I just can't see this doing well, for so many reasons....

And then the rumor that he is playing the "lil sweeper boy" in the stable from The Last Jedi? Ugh.
