There hasn’t been a new Star Wars movie since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, but the franchise is gearing up to make a return to theaters in a big way. Next year sees the release of Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu, and now we know which Star Wars film will be following that on the release calendar. At a panel today during Star Wars Celebration Japan, it was officially confirmed that director Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movie will debut on May 28, 2027. The film, which stars Ryan Gosling, is titled Star Wars: Starfighter. It is a standalone story set around five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars: Starfighter will begin production this fall.
Gosling was on stage during the panel to discuss the project. He said the script is “so good,” praising its story and “original characters.” Gosling added the narrative is “filled with so much heart and adventure” and expressed enthusiasm about working with Levy. The crowd in attendance got an inside look at how far back Gosling’s Star Wars fandom goes; his mother sent in a picture of his Star Wars bed sheets from when he was 5. Gosling joked that he must have “been dreaming about Star Wars since before he even saw the films.”
This is a developing story.
