Today at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan, Lucasfilm’s President Kathleen Kennedy and Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni announced an all-new theatrical release set in the Star Wars Galaxy. Star Wars: Starfighter will open exclusively in theaters May 28, 2027.
Star Wars: Starfighter, which will be directed by Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine) and star Ryan Gosling (The Fall Guy), 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.
