Star Wars: StarfighterThe payment in the franchise should be published on May 28, 2027 – it is a year after The Mandalorian and the GroguIf you follow – finally has its first look directly from the set (you can catch it below).
Ryan Gosling will be our next man and eponymous Starfighter, with Flynn Gray, Matt Smith and Mia Goth among those who previously announced in the casting.
Boring, we have absolutely no idea what the new Star Wars The film will be apart from a few fights from another world in the star atmosphere, probably with new creatures and droids.

However, we have some updates. Amy Adams and Aaron Pierre have also been announced as joining the casting, with Adams who should play Gray’s mother (the role of Pierre was not supposed). But as much as I like to see these two acts, it is not the announcement that made me, a Star Wars Dance, incredibly excited for its release.
It is not Jamael Westman or Daniel Ings, who are also overall. Oh no. It is Simon Bird, whose name could not mean anything to you if you are based in the United States, or elsewhere that the United Kingdom. He is best known in Britain to play Will Mackenzie in the sitcom InbetweenersAnd it is this role that makes its cast incredibly ironic.
The cast of Simon Bird in Star Wars: Starfighter is hilarious, actually
I have four words for you: Fourdy, you are. If you’ve ever seen InbetweenersWhich took place from 2008 to 2010 (not to mention the films), you may remember the episode of season 2 where Will and the Gang are heading for Swiabia for a school excursion, with the eye of Will immediately influenced by the new daughter Lauren (Jayne Wisener).
While Simon (Joe Thomas) tries to take him for himself, will dust his best flirting techniques during lunch, which is an impression of Yoda. Lauren has no idea what’s going on, saying that she was afraid that he had “a problem” and without surprise, she chooses Simon rather than Will.
It is also the episode where the boys hit a fish in a dull and trigger a push of distress while they are still in the port, so Interior Now, in short. Will’s Yoda line is something that is still regularly quoted almost 20 years later, and it took 0.5 seconds for fans to resume the link.
“From the case W ** Ker to Star Wars Pilot, what a shine, “replied a fan at the announcement on X, with another endearing the Yoda clip and adding” this is clearly the reason they threw him “.
Another weighed, “Star Wars Strangely perfect casting here, he will have it: “With another fan of agreement,” No, he will just crash with a “Bumder!” And an impression of Yoda! “”
While fans speculate that Bird will play a pilot, no official announcement of his exact role has been made.
With director Shawn Levy (Deadpool and Wolverine) Direct the Star Wars: Starfighter Ship, I hope he pays at least subtly tribute to such a famous moment, he certainly made the Hall of Fame of the British sitcom (well, that would be the case if I was in charge).
In the meantime, you can watch the Star Wars Back catalog on Disney + in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.
