Here’s where the fun begins.

Not only is the anticipated second season of Andor hitting Disney+ Tuesday, April 22, but the announcements are already flowing out of Star Wars Celebration Japan like hate from a Sith.

During a panel for next year’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy made a surprise on-stage appearance to announce that his upcoming film, Star Wars: Starfighter, will hit
theaters May 28, 2027 and will begin production this fall. Set five years after The Rise of Skywalker, the film will star Ryan Gosling as a never-before-seen character.

There have been plenty of Star Wars projects announced that have yet to materialize – for example, the Rey Skywalker movie that was announced at Star Wars Celebration two years ago – but it’s encouraging that this one is close to becoming a reality.

Check out the announcement via the Star Wars X account below.
