Jedi Rumored to Have Strong Presence in Upcoming Star Wars Film 'Starfighter'

According to a recent rumor, the upcoming Star Wars film 'Starfighter' will feature a strong Jedi presence, contrary to previous expectations that the movie would focus more on pilots and non-Force users. This is a surprising update, as the Star Wars franchise has been missing from theaters since the release of 'The Rise of Skywalker' in 2019.

The film, which is set to begin principal photography in August, has already generated significant anticipation due to its impressive cast, including Ryan Gosling, scream queen Mia Goth, and the acclaimed Amy Adams. However, the potential inclusion of Jedi characters has added a new layer of excitement for fans.

If the rumor proves to be true, it could potentially connect 'Starfighter' to Daisy Ridley's developing Rey movie, which is expected to follow the Jedi as they establish a new order after the fall of the First Order. While details about the Rey project remain scarce, fans are hopeful that John Boyega will reprise his role as Finn and finally get to showcase his Force abilities.

'Starfighter' is currently slated for a May 28th, 2027 release, so fans will have to wait a while before they can see the film in theaters. However, with the anticipation steadily building, Lucasfilm will likely provide more information about the project in the coming months, including whether the Jedi rumors are accurate.
