According to Variety, Disney executives have some worries about how well “The Mandalorian and Grogu” movie (coming in 2026) will perform in theaters and with audiences. However, there are currently no similar concerns about the upcoming “Starfighter” film.

According to the article, the upcoming Star Wars film, Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy (known for Deadpool & Wolverine), is expected to please fans. Early viewers have given positive feedback, particularly praising Ryan Gosling’s acting and noting that the film seems to have brought back the playful energy of the original Star Wars movies. It’s scheduled for release next spring.

Details about the story of Levy’s upcoming film are scarce, but it will take place after the events of the 2019 movie Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Filming started last year.
