Andor and Skeleton Crew showed some promising signs, but Season 2 of Ahsoka is coming and the Mandalorian and Merchandise trailer felt like it arrived 18 months too late. Can Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy inject some life into Star Wars?
Very little was known about his entry, Star Wars: Starfighter, outside a very basic plot outline.
Now, a few more details have emerged online.
The Hot Mic’s John Rocha has reported that the story is set about five years after the events of The Rise Of Skywalker, so some time has passed since the final defeat of a Palpatine and his First Order.
We knew the cast included Ryan Gosling, Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams.
Rocha’s report says the slightly more detailed plot is as follows:
“The main kid is Force-sensitive. His mom is being played by Amy Adams. She seems to be a Jedi. Gosling is not a Jedi, but he’s helping his nephew escape two evil bad guys who are chasing him across the stars. He has a mission he’s on, given to him by Adams.”
Much online speculation is that Gosling’s character is taking the kid to the newly created Jedi Academy being run by Rey (Daisy Ridley), and certain forces are willing to do anything to prevent new Jedi being trained.
Jonathan Tropper penned the script.
Star Wars: Starfighter will be released theatrically on May 28th 2027.
