Lucasfilm has revealed the first official look at Star Wars: Starfighter. The image features Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray, setting the stage for one of the most exciting Star Wars films in years.
Release Date and Cast
The movie arrives in theaters on May 28, 2027.
The cast includes:
- Ryan Gosling
- Flynn Gray
- Mia Goth
- Matt Smith
- Amy Adams
- Aaron Pierre
- Simon Bird
- Jamael Westman
Directed by Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine), the film promises to expand the galaxy in bold new ways.
Story Setting

Unlike past Star Wars entries, Starfighter will tell a standalone story. It takes place five years after The Rise of Skywalker but introduces a new lineup of heroes and villains. This gives Levy and the cast freedom to explore fresh narratives without being tied to the Skywalker saga.
Why This First Look Stands Out
The image hints at:
- A striking ocean world backdrop, rarely explored in live-action Star Wars.
- A mix of familiar star power with Ryan Gosling and the new energy of Flynn Gray.
- A chance for Lucasfilm to push the franchise into uncharted territory.
Fans are buzzing online. Many are excited to see how Gosling’s character fits into the universe. Others are curious about Gray’s role, especially since he’s a relative newcomer. With Levy behind the camera, expectations are sky-high.
