Leaked Star Wars: Starfighter plot reveals lightsaber-wielding character

Star Wars: Starfighter is a big bet after the weak performance of The Mandalorian and Grogu at the box office. This is an original story, and the first project to take place after the events ofThe Rise of Skywalker . Sunrise.

The film is directed by Shawn Levy, known for his blockbusters that do well at the box office. He, according to rumors, insisted on the idea of ​​​​the film, inviting Ryan Gosling to play the main role. This is also the last film in the franchise, created under the direction of Kathleen Kennedy.

The plot of Starfighterhas been kept under wraps, but we now have a few potential details from social media insider @FivesWalker. Previously, he revealed in advance the exact details of other titlesStar Warsand more.

Mia Goth plays a Force-sensitive character who uses a lightsaber. She will be working for a warlord/arms dealer (Matt Smith) who is notorious throughout the galaxy. And yes, she's after Ryan Gosling's nephew.

There were various rumors that she was a follower of the Sith cult. This is not true. I would describe her more as a mercenary (think Baylan Skoll and Shin Hachi). Although she is related to Matt Smith's character, she has personal goals. Plans that may include training a specific person.

The source continues: “His mother (Amy Adams) is Force-sensitive, just like him. At the beginning of the film, she dies, but in the last moments of her life she gives her lightsaber to her son and tells him to go in search of an uncle he has never met.The boy is quite smart and manages to get out of the planet, finding his uncle in the cantina - a drunken pilot and war hero, haunted by the ghosts of the past."

They don't get along very well at first, but in classic Star Wars style, I think you can imagine how it ends.

This fits with rumors that Gosling's character is traveling the galaxy to bring his nephew to the one who can train him in the arts of the Jedi: Rey Skywalker. This would be an interesting addition, potentially setting the stage for a film starring Daisy Ridley.

A lot depends on the Star Fighter

After the low box office ofThe Mandalorian and Groguthe studio has high hopes for the upcoming project. Unlike the film about Mando, toys based on Starfighterwill not be able to sell, so box office receipts will be important for him.

If the film fails at the box office, Star Wars will be in limbo. According to sources at Lucasfilm, Disney management will make decisions about the future of the franchise based on the performance ofStarfighterat the box office.

The blockbuster will premiere on May 27, 2027.
