A Bold New Chapter in the Star Wars Saga

Get ready, Star Wars fans! Director Shawn Levy and the charismatic Ryan Gosling have just announced their collaboration on the highly anticipated film, "Star Wars: Starfighter." Set five years after 2019's "The Rise of Skywalker," this flick promises a fresh and exhilarating adventure in the beloved galaxy far, far away.

What We Know So Far: A Unique Story Awaits

In an exciting revelation, Levy shared with Deadline, "There are many rumors, some true, some not… This is not a prequel, nor a sequel. It’s a completely new adventure." Gosling couldn't agree more, expressing his confidence in Levy's vision: "There is not a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn." The dynamic duo is joined by writer Jonathan Tropper, who has dedicated the last two years crafting this unique narrative.

Production Kicks Off Soon

Filming is set to commence this autumn, heightening anticipation among fans eager for fresh content from the galaxy. Interestingly, speculation hints that actress Mikey Madison, fresh off her Oscar win, turned down a part in the film, although details remain under wraps.

No Connections to Past Stories

Levy's collaboration with Lucasfilm began back in 2022, and he’s adamant about steering clear of past narratives. In a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he emphasized the need for originality in the franchise: "It's really forced me to think about that question. Because there's only so many times that Star Wars movies can revisit the same section of the timeline."

Focusing on Unique Tone and Themes

What truly sets "Starfighter" apart? Levy insists that he's keen on creating a film rooted in tone and character depth. He describes his aim: "I really wanted to craft something organic to me, both in tone and characters. There is certainly the Force and a connection to something bigger than ourselves."

Star Wars: Starfighter - A Journey Beyond Expectations

This new installment aims to blend powerful themes of connection, visual spectacle, and wish fulfillment—elements that have always defined the heart of Star Wars. With Levy and Gosling at the helm, fans are in for a ride that promises to take them to thrilling new heights. Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting project unfolds!
