For some time now, fans have known that Ryan Gosling is set to enter the galaxy far, far away by way of the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter. Plot-specific details on the Shawn Levy-helmed film have been mostly kept under wraps, and many have been eager to learn more. Well, the fanbase now has yet another key piece of information, as the identity of Gosling’s character has finally been revealed. Fans are now reacting and, while some have jokes, some die-hard devotees have a massive theory.
Both Gosling and Levy were on hand for the Entertainment Showcase at Disney’s D23 Fan Event on Friday. It was there that the duo (who will also be working on the Ghost Rider movie) debuted the first footage from Starfighter. Amid the proceedings, Levy also confirmed the name of Gosling’s character – Kade Auberon. Not much was said about Kade’s origins, though Gosling described him as “a guy from the wrong side of the galaxy whose fate is intertwined with the fastest starfighter ever built.”
