Ever wonder if the stars align for blockbuster announcements? Well, it seems like they did at Star Wars Celebration. Picture this: in a zodiac where Aries is all about starting fresh, hitting theaters with a bang on May 28, 2027, we have “Star Wars: Starfighter”—yeah, that’s right, the Force is strong with the upcoming releases! With Ryan Gosling (I’m already seeing him in leather-looking space armor, channeling that “Drive” vibe, chef's kiss) in the lead and the ever-talented Shawn Levy directing, it’s clear the franchise is shooting for the stars again—not just the streaming service skies.
This time, Disney’s taking a meat-and-potatoes approach after their streaming shows like The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew kinda fell flat with fans quicker than Millennium Falcon jumping to hyperspace. Set five years post-The Rise of Skywalker, this is not your average space jaunt. We’re venturing into unexplored territory with all-new characters, new drama—and with Gosling’s charisma, the galaxy’s prayers for quality content might just have been answered.
The excitement’s building up, and with the first glimpse of The Mandalorian & Grogu already making waves, it’s like we’re all witnessing the galaxy realign itself for another era of cinematic spectacle. So, are you ready for a Star Wars movie to be just as epic as the time you discovered your sun sign was not what you thought? LEARN MORE. encima Ah, that’s “on top” in Spanish, see, I’m adding a galactic flair here! Let me know your thoughts.

We’re going back to a galaxy far, far away – and this time on the big screen with some bona fide A-listers attached. Indeed, Lucasfilm and Disney announced during Star Wars Celebration that their long-rumoured new addition to the franchise starring Ryan Gosling, and directed by Shawn Levy, is officially going forward, and will be hitting theatres sooner than you think. The film, Star Wars: Starfighter, is set for a May 28, 2027, release, which is almost one year to the day following their first Star Wars movie in seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu, which has a May 22, 2026, release date.
The move marks a strong shift in Disney’s approach to making Star Wars content, which has been mostly consigned to streaming series as of late. Many new shows, such as The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew, fell flat with fans and performed weakly, making it seem like this is more of a meat-and-potatoes style return for the franchise.
Notably, it’s a true Star Wars sequel, with it set after The Rise of Skywalker. Here’s what Disney stated in their official release:
“Star Wars: Starfighter,” which will be directed by Shawn Levy and star Ryan Gosling, is a standalone adventure taking place approximately five years after the events of 2019’s “Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker.” The film, which will begin production this Fall, is an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet.
Previously, we reported that Mikey Madison had turned down a starring role in the film.
Levy, of course, recently helmed Marvel’s biggest theatrical success in years, Deadpool & Wolverine, and before that made three Night at the Museum movies, Free Guy, Real Steel, and more.
Meanwhile, Star Wars Celebration also unveiled the first footage from The Mandalorian & Grogu, with THR reporting it offered a glimpse of The Mandalorian breaking into the cockpit of an AT-AT Walker and taking out a crew of stormtroopers. The footage also reportedly included the first look at Sigourney Weaver’s character and a glimpse of Jeremy Allen White’s Rotta the Hutt.
