Star Wars Plans New 2027 Film Starfighter Featuring Ryan Gosling

The upcoming Star Wars movie Starfighter, set about five years after The Rise of Skywalker, promises to explore the post-Palpatine galaxy and the rebuilding of the Jedi Order. Ryan Gosling stars as a non-Jedi character tasked with protecting his Force-sensitive nephew, whose mother, played by Amy Adams, is reportedly a Jedi. This storyline echoes familiar themes of a protector guiding a Force-sensitive youth, aligning Starfighter with previous Star Wars narratives of Jedi mentorship. The film is likely connected to the planned Rey movie, which focuses on Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order after the sequel trilogy's events. Starfighter features a notable cast including Matt Smith, Mia Goth, and others, and is directed by Shawn Levy, with a 2027 release date. While details remain limited, the film is described as an original story set in a previously unexplored Star Wars era, aiming to satisfy fans eager for more Jedi action.
