Here is a comprehensive summary of the article:

Star Wars: Starfighter is an upcoming American space opera film directed by Shawn Levy and written by Jonathan Tropper, set five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019). The film stars Ryan Gosling as Kade Auberon, alongside Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams. Levy first pitched the idea to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy in the mid-2010s, but development only began in earnest after he entered talks in November 2022, with progress delayed by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Jonathan Tropper was hired to write the script in July 2024, and the title and Gosling's casting were announced in April 2025, with the full cast revealed in August when filming commenced in the United Kingdom and later moved to Sardinia, Italy, wrapping in December 2025. The film is scheduled for release in the United States on May 28, 2027, and is expected to be the next Star Wars film after The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026). Notably, a report suggested Daisy Ridley might reprise her role as Rey in a mentorship capacity, though this has not been officially confirmed.
