What We Know About Star Wars: Starfighter So Far

Starfighter is set five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, making it the furthest into the Star Wars timeline so far. This gives the movie a fresh setting, far beyond anything we’ve seen in the franchise before. According to Lucasfilm, the film will introduce all-new characters and tell a completely original story. It’s not a sequel or spin-off of previous movies, but rather a new adventure in the Star Wars galaxy.

This new direction gives the filmmakers a chance to explore parts of the Star Wars universe that haven’t been shown before. Fans can expect new planets, new heroes, and new threats.

Shawn Levy is stepping into the director’s chair for this exciting project. He’s known for making hit movies and shows like Free Guy, The Adam Project, and Stranger Things. He’s also directing Deadpool & Wolverine, which is one of the most anticipated superhero films coming soon. Levy admitted that working in the Star Wars universe is a big challenge, but he believes the team is building something fans will truly enjoy.

Starfighter is set to hit theaters on May 28, 2027, and filming will begin later this year. The movie will follow the 2026 release of The Mandalorian & Grogu, as Lucasfilm continues to grow its lineup of new Star Wars films.
