The plot for Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter is said to have leaked, which stars Ryan Gosling.
The official title and release date were recently revealed at Star Wars Celebration Japan over the weekend.
What is the plot leak?
According to Daniel RPK, Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter will reportedly follow “a 15-year-old boy on a mission with his uncle (Ryan Gosling) as they’re being pursued by a duo of villains.”
Levy did direct and produce similar projects such as Stranger Things, The Adam Project, and Real Steal, so the rumor fits. It also sounds a bit like the Skeleton Crew series, except instead of using Jude Law who played a bad guy and a bunch of kids, Ryan Gosling is playing the good guy with his nephew.
What has Lucasfilm said?
Lucasfilm is keeping the official plot under wraps but has revealed the movie is set approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, where Gosling will play a brand-new character.
