Who Will Star in and Create Star Wars: Starfighter?

Star Wars: Starfighter will be directed by Shawn Levy and star Ryan Gosling. So, it has our attention. We’re obsessed with the idea of Ryan Gosling in Star Wars honestly. This Ken’s job is space. We hope Star Wars: Starfighter is able to capture Gosling’s weirder and more comedic aspects, honestly. He really seems to excel in them.

The film is an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet.” Very mysterious, but we’re in.
