Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy and set for release on May 28, 2027, is generating buzz as a standalone film separate from the Skywalker Saga. Kathleen Kennedy noted that while Starfighter is designed as a one-off story, the strong performances, particularly from co-star Flynn Gray, could lead to future developments. The film features a notable cast, including Ryan Gosling, Amy Adams, Mia Goth, and Matt Smith. Lucasfilm is shifting focus back to theatrical releases, emphasizing standalone narratives while still exploring the potential for sequels based on audience reception.
