We’re used to hearing two things about theatrical Star Wars projects: the day they get announced, and the day they get cancelled. We’ve learned not to expect any movies to get off the ground, with the exception of The Mandalorian and Grogu, as there’s no way that cash cow is getting shelved. So with that being said, today’s a special day because it’s the day Lucasfilm released a shot from the set of Star Wars Starfighter. This is the REAL announcement that we’re getting such a picture.
Disney went for “art” here and ran the photo through a black-and-white filter. As far as we know the actual movie will not be in black and white (though a B&W Star Wars could be novel if dome right). It’s actor Ryan Gosling sitting with fellow actor Flynn Gray on what looks to be a landspeeder. Guess they’re saving the actual starfighter for a later reveal.
Gosling and Gray are playing the main characters of Star Wars Starfighter — neither of their names have been revealed, but Gosling plays someone who must “protect his young nephew against evil pursuers.” Gray is the nephew. The cast also includes Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Amy Adams, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman and Daniel Ings.
Also, the movie has nothing to do with the video game of the same name that came out in 2001 and was set during the prequel trilogy. THIS movie is a story taking place during the post-sequel trilogy years…a period of time we haven’t seen before.
Shawn Levy (Free Guy, Deadpool and Wolverine) is directing, from a script written by Jonathan Topper (Warrior, Your Friends and Neighbors). Star Wars Starfighter is set to be released May 28, 2027…The Mandalorian and Grogu will come well before then in May of 2026.
