FULL STORY

While weve known there are some feature-length Star Wars films in the works,
up until late last night  April 17, 2025  we only knew that the Mandalorian
and Grogu would make the jump to the big screen next Memorial Day, May 26,
2026. 

But hold your blue milk  theres another brand-new Star Wars film set for May
2027, and it starts production this Fall. Even better, its directed by Shawn
Levy, the man behind the incredibly excellent Deadpool & Wolverine , but 
maybe even better is the fact that Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars
universe. 

Yes, the actor with his roots in the Mickey Mouse Club and the person who
played Ken in Barbie , will be playing an all-new character in Star Wars:
Starfighter . The title of the forthcoming film certainly has intrigue, but
not a whole lot else about the plot or the storyline is known. Star Wars:
Starfighter comes to theaters on May 28, 2027.

The casting was announced on stage at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan.
Starfighter will be a stand-alone film that is set five years after The Rise
of Skywalker . Gosling was wearing a hat with the phrase, Never tell me the
odds. on it, a Han Solo quote which might hint that this will be an
action-packed adventure film. And it will be turning a new page as the
Skywalker saga will be concluded by this point. 

 Star Wars: Starfighter is slated to begin production this fall and will be
released on Memorial Day 2027, which means May 28. After a year, Star Wars is
set to return to big screen with The Mandalorian & Grogu . 

While we have footage of both Gosling and Levy on stage at Celebration 2025,
the only other piece of media is a logo, title teaser for the Starfighter
film.

Also announced at Star Wars Celebration 2025 is a new animated series titled,
Maul: Shadow Lord . And this will be excellent news for fans of The Clone
Wars, among other animated shows in the Star Wars universe. Better yet, Sam
Witwer will be reprising his role to voice Maul in this show. Maul: Shadow
Lord will be exclusive to one of the best streaming services , Disney+, when
it arrives in 2026. 

If youre looking for more of the latest news from Star Wars Celebration 2025,
stick with TechRadar. Weve already gotten a closer look at Lucasfilms Beyond
Victory title for the Meta Quest 3S and 3, a slew of new Lego sets , and a
bunch more Celebration-exclusive products that are appearing on Amazon. 

That helps with the fomo a bit, but I do hope Star Wars continues the trend 
of the Mandalorian movie and puts the BDX Droids in Starfighter .
