Ryan Gosling may play Legends hero in Starfighter

New reports about the movie Star Wars: Starfighter (Star Wars: Starfighter) suggest that Rey's New Jedi Order will become a reality. In addition, the identity of the main character Ryan Gosling has been revealed.

The box office receipts for The Mandalorian and Groguwere disappointing, but it won't affect Shawn Levy's project. The upcoming film takes place five years after The Rise of Skywalker. Rising" and this will be the first look at the galaxy after the sequel trilogy.

A Making Star Wars insider on social media shared important new information about Starfighter. According to the source, Gosling's character's name is Cade. This is a Han Solo-esque protagonist who rescues a mysterious child played by Finn Gray and takes him to a Jedi hideout on Adaria.

It is worth noting that a different name for the character was previously reported.

Who really is Cade played by Ryan Gosling

If this report is accurate, then it's pretty easy to guess who the main character really is. In the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, the Skywalker line existed for over a century. Luke Skywalker's most famous descendant was Cade Skywalker, who bears a striking resemblance to Ryan Gosling. Raised as a Jedi, Cade left the Order after the final clash between the Jedi and the Sith and became a bounty hunter. Sound familiar?

Naturally, Gosling's character is unlikely to really be a Skywalker. There is no evidence that Luke ever had children in the canon timeline. But it's easy to imagine a scenario where Gosling's Cade is a former Jedi.

In the comics, Cade Skywalker was one of the most powerful Force-sensitives. He had Force abilities that Darth Vader himself would envy, even bringing people back from the dead.

The premiere of Starfighter will take place on May 27, 2027.
