The highly anticipated Star Wars: Starfighter has officially unveiled its logo, giving fans a nostalgic first look at the upcoming cinematic event. Revealed at the D23 Disney Entertainment Showcase, the film’s new logo features a distinct, retro aesthetic that harkens back to the original 1977 theatrical poster—a fitting tribute as the franchise nears its 50th anniversary in 2027.
>Directed by Shawn Levy with a screenplay by Jonathan Tropper, Starfighter is set five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. While plot details remain largely under wraps, the reveal confirmed that Ryan Gosling will lead the cast as the character Kade Auberon. He is joined by an impressive ensemble that includes Flynn Gray, Amy Adams, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, and Daniel Ings. Promising a new post-sequels direction for the galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: Starfighter is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 28, 2027.
Before Gosling took to the stage, StarWars.com snapped this photo of Gosling and his amazing jacket.
During the Disney Studio Showcase Panel at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Gosling revisited his early career, sporting a Mickey Mouse Club jacket similar to the one seen in a vintage video clip played for the delighted crowd. “I owe a lot to Disney,” Gosling said. “Had they not looked far and wide and come to my hometown, I would not be here today. And now here I am 30 years later… I’m back and it’s changing my life again.”
