Filming is up and running on Star Wars: Starfighter, location shooting is taking place in the Mediterranean near Sardinia and here we see stars Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray for the first time in character on the world of (*insert as-yet unnamed planet*) in their roles of (*insert as-yet unnamed characters*). What we do know is the film is directed by Shawn Levy, arrives 28th May 2027, with visual effects by ILM and co-starring Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams.
Director Shawn Levy has revealed the first look at “Star Wars: Starfighter,” a spinoff in the space opera series starring Ryan Gosling and newcomer Flynn Gray. In the behind-the-scenes shot, Gosling and Gray’s characters are wearing battered clothing while adrift on some sort of water craft. This oceanic location (Levy captioned the photo “Somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea and tagged the Instagram post in Sardinia, Italy) is a shift from prior “Star Wars” adventures, set mostly across the galaxy on desert planets like Tatooine and Jakku.
Plot details are unclear but Lucasfilm previously confirmed that “Starfighter” will be an “entirely original story set in a period of time never before explored in ‘Star Wars.’” The standalone film, which focuses on new characters in the sci-fi universe, is reportedly set about five years after the events of 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” which ends with a victory for the Resistance.
