Star Wars: Starfighter Adds Cast, Starts Production

The chances for a Star Wars film making it the big screen has substantially increased as Star Wars: Starfighter begins production. In theory, director Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine) will be there to the end but no guarantees with Lucasfilm.

With the news comes a photo of star Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray. Also announced was official verification of the casting of Matt Smith and Mia Goth. Announced additional cast members are Amy Adams (Disenchanted), Aaron Pierre (Lanterns), Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners), Jamael Westman (Good Grief), and Daniel Ings (The Marvels).

Shawn Levy says, “I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter. From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true, creatively and personally. Star Wars shaped my sense of what story can do, how characters and cinematic moments can live with us forever. To join this storytelling galaxy with such brilliant collaborators onscreen and off, is the thrill of a lifetime.”

Details on the script and the characters remain under wraps. The movie is aiming for a May 28, 2027 release date.

Star Wars: Starfighter Casts Its Villain

The Ryan Gosling led movie Star Wars: Starfighter has cast the villain role. Matt Smith (Doctor Who, House of the Dragon) joins the film which will also star Mia Goth with Shawn Levy directing. Per usual with Star Wars casting, nothing additional was revealed about the character. Filming for the movie is starting this fall for a May 28, 2027 release date.

New Jedi Order Movie Paused?

An unconfirmed rumor is making the rounds that The New Jedi Order movie with Daisy Ridley returning as Rey is on hold but not cancelled either. The news isn't really a surprise considering the movie has been having script problems with multiple writers removed from the project which suggests Lucasfilm doesn't know what they want, just what they don't want when its presented to them. 

Supposedly the pause is to allow for two other Star Wars films still at the idea stage, one from Shawn Levy and another from James Mangold. If that is the case that means this hold will be at least two or more years in length as there is no indication that either film even reached the finished script stage, much less started pre-production. 

Modern Star Wars films have consistently had problems with scripts, directors, and schedules and who knows what else that is hidden by NDAs. My general opinion is the mismanagement of Lucasfilm is such that you can't count on one of their films until its at least half way through production. By then they are too financially committed to not see it to completion.
