Star Wars can be a frightening franchise to dive into for any actor. However, it seems Ryan Gosling understands this and has enlisted the help of an “iconic star” from past films to help him on his way. Gosling has called in the big guns on this one. Hayden Christensen himself has been helping out in the soon-to-be lead role in the upcoming film, Star Wars: Starfighter. Gosling seems ready to rock, and with Hayden giving him pointers, hope may have returned to the hearts of many fans who were already on the fence.
According to IndieWire, Hayden Christensen has stated that Ryan Gosling is an “amazing actor” and that he probably doesn’t need his advice. Hayden also confirms that he was able to sit down and have dinner with Ryan. The prequel trilogy star continues by stating he is “very excited” about Gosling’s upcoming film. Ryan also seems extremely excited about joining the family. Gosling’s film was confirmed at the recent Star Wars celebration in Japan. It was there when the actor was brought on stage with the director, Shawn Levy. Star Wars: Starfighter will be a standalone movie set roughly five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It will explore a new era in the timeline, and it seems like most fans are cautiously optimistic.
Fans Share Their Thoughts on the Upcoming Star Wars Films Starring Ryan Gosling
After the official announcement at Celebration, fans took to social media to talk about the crazy development.
“I can’t wait for this,” said one.
“The name alone sounds awesome,” wrote another.
Finally, another said, “Since when does Star Wars need the big-name actors? They used to succeed with their own brand.”
While some fans remain unhappy with Disney, some seem a little more open to giving them another shot to get things right.
Star Wars: Starfighter is just one of many projects that were announced at Celebration. Another one that stands out is actually an animated show. Many fans believe that the animated shows are some of the best in the entire franchise, and now, Darth Maul will be getting his own. Maul: Shadow lord is officially in development.
Star Wars fans have been divided since the dreaded equal trilogy. However, a string of fantastic TV shows could help bridge that gap. Andor Season 2 has returned, and Ahsoka Season 2 is on the way. Disney is desperately trying to make amends with the fans. However, it will take a lot of time and a lot of effort to heal these old wounds. Hopefully, Ryan Gosling can also help make the fan base whole once again.
