It should come as no surprise that we are getting a new “Star Wars” film, and no, I’m not talking about the “The Mandalorian” and Grogu that’s coming out in May.
We are getting a sequel to the very mixed-received trilogy, deemed the sequel trilogy by fans. To clarify, this isn’t the original trilogy, which was released in 1977-1983. Also known as Four, Five, and Six, or the prequel trilogy, it was released in 1999-2005, or known as one, two, and three.
But seven, eight, and nine, released in 2015-2019. To which this newest installment is called “Star Wars: Starfighter,” which takes place five years after the events in ”Rise of Skywalker.”
The film has been in production since August, but it has, or we’ve just learned, that it’s added its latest cast member.
Matt Smith, most known for his role as the Doctor on the ongoing and incredibly popular BBC series “Doctor Who,”. Along with being in other popular series, including “House of Dragons,” and is starring in a “Terminator” and Marvel project with “Morbius.”
It is unclear who he will be playing, as all characters and plot notes are under wraps, and nothing has been announced yet .
With Shawn Levy in the directors chair. There is a good possibility that this, might just be a film fans can agree on. Then again, not since the original trilogy have the fans agreed on anything about the franchise.
Whether or not the film is going to be strong with the force is uncertain. However, one thing is certain, “Star Wars Starfighter” hits theaters in 2027
