Ryan Freakin’ Gosling is officially hopping aboard the Millennium Falcon of Hollywood—yes, he’s headed to a galaxy far, far away!
That’s right, Ken from Barbie is trading his rollerblades for a blaster in the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by stranger-things-have-happened legend, Shawn Levy. You read that right. Ryan Gosling. In Star Wars. We’re entering peak cinema.
So what’s the scoop, you ask?
Lucasfilm spilled the blue milk at the 2025 Star Wars Celebration in Japan—aka Comic-Con for people who know what a “midichlorian” is. And the headline? This movie is a completely new adventure. No Skywalkers. No Palpatines. Not even a single whiny “NOOOOOOO!” from Darth Vader (probably).
This isn’t your dad’s Jedi story. We’re talking fresh characters, unexplored timelines, and hopefully—just hopefully—Ryan Gosling in a space cape. ✨
When’s it happening?
– Production: Fall 2025 (aka the time when every actor in Hollywood starts googling “how to hold a lightsaber correctly”).
– Release Date: May 28, 2027. So, go ahead and mark your calendars, or just ask your favorite robot assistant to remind you in two years.
Where does it fit in the timeline?
The movie is set five years after The Rise of Skywalker (aka that movie where Rey said “Rey Skywalker” and confused literally everyone). So yeah, space is still chaotic, but now it’s Ryan Gosling’s problem. Bless him.
Ryan Gosling. Space. A brand-new Star Wars movie. Possibly zero sand (Anakin would be proud). See you in 2027, folks—may the thirst be with you. 💫
