It seems like everyone is in love with the project they are involved in at Lucasfilm, as it will probably not shock you. Mia Goth is the latest actress to be openly talking about the Star Wars project they are attached to, and singing its praises too. This comes on the heels of Rosario Dawson and Bryce Dallas Howard hyping up Ahsoka Season 2, and Jeremy Allen White describing how fun The Mandalorian and Grogu is.
Goth was interviewed by Elle Magazine to promote Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and the topic of what’s next for her came up. She talked to the publication after wrapping on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and while in preparation for Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter, so it’s not like there was much that she could say about the project. Still, she mentioned the following about prep:
“I’m being pushed in a way that I’ve never been pushed before….This is a completely separate film, not a prequel. It’s its own thing, with new characters. And it’s a great script, a really great script.”
The writer of the piece also reached out to director Shawn Levy to discuss the casting of the up-and-comer actress. Levy had nothing but nice words about her:
“We needed a singular actor to play a fiercely complex new character within the Star Wars galaxy. Mia is a unicorn of an actress. It’s not like you could ever say, ‘We need a Mia Goth type,’ because there is no type. There’s just Mia.”
What’s interesting about Levy’s quote is how she was actually not the first choice for the role, as Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison got the offer for the part first, but reportedly turned it down over money. Lucasfilm then turned to Goth, who accepted the part. It is reportedly one of the main villains of the movie.
Star Wars: Starfighter is currently shooting in the UK and is targeting a theatrical release on May 28, 2027. The next Star Wars feature film is The Mandalorian and Grogu, which bows on May 22, 2026.
