The filming of Star Wars: Starfighter has been ongoing for more than two months. Director Shawn Levy said production is half completed.

In an interview with Deadline at the world premiere of the Stranger Things finale, he said that filming of the upcoming blockbuster is going smoothly. Ryan Gosling, who plays the lead role, received special praise.

Star Wars is doing very, very well. We've shot a little over half of it and every day I bring my ten-year-old self to the set. I knew it would be a dream come true, but when you find yourself on these sets, surrounded by droids, aliens, among large-scale sets and costumes, every day becomes joyful. It's damn hard, and Ryan Gosling is a true genius and a great partner. Everything is going great!”

One of the previously announced Star Wars films could be turned into a Disney+ series. However, it is officially unclear about the future of the franchise on streaming services.
