\n\tWe finally have some more details about the Shawn Levy directed, Ryan Gosling<\/a> starring Star Wars: Starfighter movie after a first look was unveiled tonight at Disney<\/a>\u2018s D23 fan confab. <\/p>\n

\n\tPrevious details revealed that the movie was set a brand new galaxy in the Star Wars canon, free of Skywalker family plot-lines. The Jonathan Tropper penned screenplay is set at the future most point in the Star Wars timeline. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhat we learned tonight is that Gosling plays a pilot Kade, a guy who has the swagger of his Drive persona, Driver. The footage begins with Flynn Gray\u2019s young man walking into a rusty spaceship garage. He uncovers a spaceship (almost looks like a speeder). Gosling\u2019s Kade enters and says, \u201cDidn\u2019t I tell you not to touch anything?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe kid asks what it is. \u201cIt\u2019s a decommissioned G17,\u201d says Kade, \u201cthe fastest straighter ever built.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile none of the characters we know from the Star Wars films, there\u2019s a lot of touchstones, i.e. speeder bikes (zooming across swamps), big imperial looking starships and, remember the bridge that Luke Skywalker and Leia swing over? That bridge makes a cameo. As we knew from the first photo, the new Star Wars takes place on a sea-filled planet. <\/p>\n

\n\tStar Wars: Starfighter<\/a> comes out next Memorial Day weekend, May 28. Levy said it was the same date that the original Star Wars was released 50 years ago. After Lucasfilm<\/a> deep-sixed with the lowest grossing live-action Star Wars movie this past summer in the $165M costing (before P&A), Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu, which bottomed out at $345M WW,the new hope is that Skyfighter will revive the franchise, thanks to the affable Gosling and Levy, the latter who delivered the highest grossing R-rated movie ever in Deadpool & Wolverine which made $1.33 billion.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore showing any footage of Starfighter, Levy showed footage of young Gosling from Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling was also on stage tonight, wowing fans. <\/p>\n
