Shawn Levy’s ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ Sets May 28, 2027 Release

April 17, 2025 Jordan Ruimy

It’s been announced that Shawn Levy’s upcoming Lucasfilm project is titled “Star Wars: Starfighter“ and will release in theaters during the 50th anniversary week of ‘A New Hope’ on May 28, 2027.

Ryan Gosling will officially star in Levy’s ‘Star Wars’ film, which begins production this coming fall. As reported yesterday, Mikey Madison rejected an offer to star alongside Gosling. No other casting has been confirmed, but there’s a rumor circulating that Greta Lee (“Past Lives”) was recently offered a role.

The film is described as a standalone adventure that takes place a few years after the events of ‘The Rise of Skywalker.’ An internal production grid has the story revolving around a Jedi (Gosling) who trains his 15-year-old nephew as his Padawan. They're on a mission while being pursued by two villains — one male, one female.

Levy (“Deadpool & Wolverine”) will now be leaving Marvel to work with Lucasfilm, that other subsidiary of the mighty Disney empire. Lucasfilm is now hoping the filmmaker can give a much-needed booster shot in the arm of their struggling Star Wars franchise. Godspeed.

Much like James Mangold’s ‘Star Wars’ project, Levy’s film is a standalone instalment. Having Gosling in the mix brings the kind of star power that not every Star Wars movie can claim to have.

Levy and writer Jonathan Tropper have been working on their Star Wars movie for two years now. Tropper co-wrote the Levy movies “The Adam Project” and “This Is Where I Leave You” (not a positive thing).

Levy is the stalwart filmmaker behind “Big Fat Liar,” “Just Married,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” “The Internship,” “Real Steal,” the “Pink Panther” reboot, “Free Guy” and the “Night at the Museum” trilogy. Not a single good movie out of the bunch.
