Two years before release, Star Wars fans are hoping Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling's Starfighter movie explores past the Skywalker saga: "Tell new stories about new characters"

Kylo Ren.

As a new Star Wars movie heads to the big screen, fans are discussing their expectations and, most importantly, what they would like the sci-fi saga to avoid. For a lot of them, it's time to move past the Skywalker saga, and "tell new stories about new characters" that we haven't seen before.

Announced during Star Wars Celebration 2025, the new film, officially titled Star Wars: Starfighter, is helmed by Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy, with Ryan Gosling set to star. So far, we know it's a standalone story that will take place "five or six years" after The Rise of Skywalker, starting a new era for the beloved franchise.
