The first synopsis for "Star Wars: Starfighter" – Shawn Levy's new feature film project starring Ryan Gosling – has appeared online.
According to the description published on IMDb, the film's action will unfold in a "rebuilding galaxy", where "a lone pilot finds himself drawn into a crucial mission as new threats emerge." The synopsis also states that his journey "could change the future of the Force itself."
Previously, Lucasfilm described the film as a "standalone adventure set in a period not previously explored in cinema." It is known that the events of the film will take place approximately five years after "Skywalker. The Rise."
In addition to Gosling, the film stars Mia Goth, Matt Smith, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamal Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams. The premiere of "Star Wars: Starfighter" is scheduled for May 28, 2027.
Next week, "The Mandalorian & Grogu" will hit theaters – the franchise's first feature film release after a seven-year hiatus. According to insiders, its success could influence the further development of "Star Wars."
