What makes this project so exciting is that it’s not a prequel, not a sequel—it’s something totally new. Levy described it as “a standalone adventure” set approximately five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker
Gosling, clearly thrilled to be part of the project, called the story “packed with heart and adventure” and praised Levy as the perfect filmmaker to bring this vision to life. In a heartfelt moment, he even shared a photo of his childhood Star Wars bedsheets—yes, really—crediting those early dreams with shaping his entire view of movies. You could feel the fanboy energy pouring off the stage.
Behind the scenes, the script has been cooking for two years, penned by Jonathan Tropper, who has previously collaborated with Levy on films like The Adam Project . And while details about the plot are still tightly under wraps, we do know casting is underway for key supporting roles—including a young co-lead and a pair of villains. So yeah, things are moving fast.
Mark your calendars: Star Wars: Starfighter is slated to hit theaters on May 28, 2027—just in time for Memorial Day weekend. It’ll be the second Star Wars film to drop post- Skywalker , following The Mandalorian and Grogu in 2026. If you’ve been waiting for something bold, new, and unbound by the legacy trilogies, this one might be for you.
So buckle up. A new chapter in Star Wars is taking flight—and with Gosling in the cockpit and Levy steering the ship, Starfighter might just be the high-speed, star-chasing thrill ride we've all been waiting for.
