Theatrical release is set for May 28, 2027.

According to reports, Goth and Smith are set to portray villainous characters, while Gray has finally bagged a significant role following numerous casting auditions. It’s also stated that Amy Adams might play the mother of Gray’s character in the production.
Story and Setting
Star Wars: Starfighter takes place about five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker.
According to recent reports, it seems that the unveiled storyline for Gosling’s character involves him safeguarding a young companion in an interstellar journey spanning galaxies.
Levy’s film is not tied to the Skywalker Saga and instead introduces new characters and conflicts.
Shawn Levy on Directing
Shawn Levy expressed his enthusiasm in a statement.
With deep enthusiasm and respect, the filmmaker expressed his feelings as we embark on making Star Wars: Starfighter. Ever since Kathy Kennedy phoned me to collaborate on an original tale within this remarkable Star Wars universe, this journey has been more than I could have hoped for, both artistically and personally. The impact of Star Wars on my perception of storytelling and the lasting power of characters and cinematic scenes has always been profound. To be part of this extraordinary galaxy of storytellers, alongside such talented people onscreen and off, is an opportunity I’ve dreamed about for a lifetime.
Additionally, Levy collaborates with Kathleen Kennedy, featuring Ryan Gosling. The executive producers for this project are Dan Levine, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, and Jonathan Tropper who is responsible for writing the script.
Release Date
Star Wars: Starfighter opens exclusively in theaters on May 28, 2027.
