Levy developed the film with the writer Jonathan Tropper for two years, and there are rumors that production on the project could begin as early as this fall.

We know nothing about the film’s story, but when speaking about his creative goals, Levy shared his desire to create a story that avoids redundancy and explores uncharted territory within the film. Star Wars timeline.

He explained: “There are so many times Star Wars movies can revisit the same section of the timeline. I don’t want to do a Star Wars film that is redundant for others, nor am I interested in making one that needs to serve another film.

Levy also sheds light on the themes he wants to explore, highlighting the core of what he creates Star Wars resonate with fans.

“There is certainly the Force and a connection to something greater than our individual self, and how that can make us powerful. These themes, combined with visual pleasure and wish fulfillment, to me are Star Wars.”

As for Gosling’s launch into the Star Wars franchise, I can’t say I’m thrilled. I like Gosling, I’m just not sure I want to see him in a Star Wars movie. What do you think?

Years ago, Gosling was rumored to be up for a role in JJ Abrams‘Star Wars: The Force Awakensbut nothing ever came of it.
