The first trailer for Star Wars: Starfighter debuted at D23 on Friday night, but it wasn't officially released, and any leaks have since been scrubbed from social media platforms.

In terms of when it might blast online, we wouldn't expect anything until much closer to the end of this year based on how The Mandalorian and Grogu was marketed. We'll just have to wait and see, but the leaked version was enough to get most Star Wars fans excited. 

In the meantime, @MakingStarWars has a detailed breakdown of a brutal Star Wars: Starfighter fight scene involving Ryan Gosling's Kade Auberon. The outlet previously revealed the name of the Barbie star's character in advance and revealed that Gosling's wife, Ghost Rider star Eva Mendes, makes her acting return in the movie to play Belle.

She's also front and centre in this sequence, which once again confirms reports that Flynn Gray's character is a young Force user. With Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy at the helm, you likely won't be surprised to learn that the action is accompanied by quite a bit of humour.

In Star Wars: Starfighter, when a cynical rogue is confronted by his mysterious past, he is hurled into a dangerous adventure across the galaxy that puts him on a crash course with destiny.

Ryan Gosling leads the cast, which also includes Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, Flynn Gray, and Amy Adams.

Star Wars: Starfighter is written by Jonathan Tropper, produced by Shawn Levy and Kathleen Kennedy, with Ryan Gosling, Dan Levine, Mary McLaglen, and Josh McLaglen serving as executive producers.

Directed by Shawn Levy, the movie arrives in theaters on May 28, 2027. The official Star Wars social media accounts have also shared a fan poster for Star Wars: Starfighter, which features a symbol that Lucasfilm has previously said is "an important symbol from the movie."
