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.

 

If this is a Star Wars version of Drive...IN!

why would they print money?  couldn't they just use a replicator? 

They don't have replicators in Star Wars, unless one of those stupid fucking cartoons all the dorks around here obsess over introduced it

Gosling was good in BladeRunner.  He's a good fit for spacefaring imo.

He’s also starring in the upcoming adaptation of Project Hail Mary (based on the book by Andy Weir, author of The Martian). Got a lot of positive buzz out of CinemaCon.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through this book. I don't know how they're going to cram this into a 2-3 hour movie.

It’s still hard to believe how lazy that sequel trilogy was. They didn’t even bother trying to come up with an explanation as to why Palpatine was back. He was just there, with a massive fleet of Star Destroyers.

Was he a clone? Was the original a clone? Did he somehow survive the Death Star explosion? Who knows?

It needs to be an Apple TV series done by the Foundation people.

It's like they basically just skipped to the end of Heir to the Empire
