Shawn Levy is currently filming Star Wars: Starfighter, which has undergone significant changes, particularly in its third act, just before production began. He shared on the podcast On Film… With Kevin McCarthy that the new direction he was forced to take is superior to his original concept. Levy emphasized the unique pressure of creating a Star Wars film, as it lacks legacy characters and explores uncharted territory in the galaxy. The movie, inspired by Return of the Jedi, aims to evoke a classic, adventurous tone and is set to release on May 28, 2027.
