Ryan Gosling Star Wars Starfighter Trailer Unveiled
Lucasfilm and Disney have generated significant attention ahead of their upcoming theatrical release. The first trailer for ryan gosling star wars: starfighter debuted behind closed doors at Disney's D23 Expo, introducing audiences to a major milestone for the franchise.
Scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 28, 2027, the movie marks Lucasfilm's second theatrical release following years of streaming content. During the preview event, actor Ryan Gosling introduced his character, Kade Auberon, a pilot whose fate connects directly to a historic vessel.
Breaking a 49-Year Franchise Record
The core of the historic reveal centers on Kade's spacecraft. Within the preview footage, a young character played by Flynn Gray uncovers a dusty ship in a workshop before Kade confronts him. When asked what kind of vessel it is, Kade states that his decommissioned G17 Imperial Reaper is the fastest starfighter ever built.
This dialogue shattered a 49-year precedent regarding sublight speeds measured in megalight per hour, or MGLT. Previously, villainous ships like Kylo Ren's TIE silencer held the top speed crown at 155 MGLT, while heroic vessels like Din Djarin's modified N-1 starfighter topped out lower at 130 MGLT. The G17 surpasses all of these iconic models, marking a rare instance where a protagonist commands the fastest ship in the galaxy.
Timeline and Setting Details
According to production details, the narrative is set approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, placing the story around 40 ABY on the official timeline. Because the G17 is identified as an Imperial vessel dating back to the era of the Galactic Empire's collapse, the ship itself is an antique that predates the film's current setting by at least 35 years.
While official online distribution of the trailer has not yet occurred outside of attendee viewings and unauthorized leaks that were subsequently removed, the footage also teases action-packed sequences. Scenes feature the Reaper dodging blaster fire and navigating water hazards on an ocean world, alongside a newly designed franchise logo.
