Star Wars: Starfighter™ In One Year!

Now we are a year out from a Star Wars premiere, and we’re excited about it. Director Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter™ starring Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray. We’ve only seen one small preview of the picture.

The two characters are looking rather haggard and worse for the wear out on a boat. It’s a dramatically different experience than the places we’ve seen in star wars before, which is a lot of deserts and space. But here we are, just on the ocean, looking at what looks like two pirates. However, there are classic touches of Star Wars, with hints of technology that far surpasses our own.

Star Wars: Starfighter™ will chart course for its theatrical premiere on May 28, 2027.
