| Ryan Gosling Officially Joins the Star Wars Universe in the New Film “Starfighter”! |
Great news for Star Wars fans! After a long wait with no new films from that galaxy far, far away, Lucasfilm has finally announced a major upcoming project. That’s right—Ryan Gosling, the actor who recently went viral for his role as Ken in Barbie, is officially joining the Star Wars universe in a brand-new movie titled Starfighter.
The announcement was made live on stage at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan. Gosling appeared wearing a cap that read “Never tell me the odds,” a legendary quote from Han Solo. That one little detail instantly sparked speculation—could Starfighter be a fast-paced action film in the spirit of Han’s adventures?
A New Star Wars Movie, But Not Part of the Skywalker Saga
Starfighter is confirmed to be a stand-alone movie, meaning it won’t directly tie into the main Skywalker saga. The story is set five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, so fans can expect an entirely new storyline and a mysterious character played by Ryan Gosling.
Although details about the plot are still being kept under wraps, fans are already buzzing about the possibility of new elements like BDX Droids or even the introduction of a brand-new faction within the Star Wars universe. One thing we do know—Starfighter will be directed by Shawn Levy, the creative mind behind Deadpool & Wolverine. Expectations are sky-high!
Production & Release Date
Production for Starfighter is scheduled to begin in Fall 2025, likely between September and November. The release date is already set for Memorial Day weekend in 2027, which means May 28, 2027. That gives us about two years to speculate and get hyped.
What’s even more exciting? Starfighter isn’t the only Star Wars project coming soon. Lucasfilm had already confirmed The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, which will hit theaters in May 2026. Clearly, Star Wars is making a big return to the big screen!
Bonus for Animation Fans: “Maul: Shadow Lord”
Also revealed at Star Wars Celebration 2025 was a brand-new animated series called Maul: Shadow Lord. If you're a fan of The Clone Wars, this is amazing news! The iconic Darth Maul will return, voiced once again by Sam Witwer.
The series will dive deeper into the dark side of the Force and is set to stream exclusively on Disney+ in 2026. It's a perfect fit for fans who love complex anti-heroes and the darker corners of the Star Wars universe.
With Ryan Gosling joining the cast of Starfighter, plus the other exciting announcements from Star Wars Celebration 2025, the future of Star Wars is looking brighter than ever. If you’ve been craving a return to the galaxy on the big screen, your wish is coming true.
Stay tuned for more updates—because who knows? Gosling’s new character in Starfighter might just become our next favorite Star Wars icon.
