Set five years after the events of 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, a Jedi (Gosling) trains his 15-year-old nephew (Flynn Gray) as his Padawan. They’re on a mission while being pursued by two villains — one male, one female. The Padawan’s mother also plays an important role in the story, and there’s another major female character as well.

From Lucasfilm, Star Wars: Starfighter is described as “an all-new standalone adventure” and “an entirely original story set in a period of time never before explored in Star Wars.”

Directed by Levy from a screenplay by Jonathan Tropper, the film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Levy, with Gosling, Dan Levine, Mary McLaglen, and Josh McLaglen serving as executive producers.

During the first day of production, Levy said, “I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter.” He added, “From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true — creatively and personally.”

He continued, “Star Wars shaped my sense of what story can do — how characters and cinematic moments can live with us forever. To join this storytelling galaxy with such brilliant collaborators, both onscreen and off, is the thrill of a lifetime.”

Star Wars: Starfighter is scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States on May 28, 2027, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
