Ahead of its 50th anniversary next February, Star Wars: A New Hope will roll out in the buzzworthy high-end format: IMAX 70mm.

But it will not be the only movie from the franchise to release in the giant-screen format.

Star Wars: Starfighter is another.

This upcoming movie has few plot details, but Ryan Gosling is confirmed to headline it.

He will play Kade, and the cast includes Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Jamaal Westman, Daniel Ings, Flynn Grey, and Amy Adams.

Shawn Levy and Kathleen Kennedy will serve as producers, and Jonathan Tropper wrote the script.

The logline of the movie reads, “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.”

Star Wars: Starfighter will bow out of theatres on May 28, 2027.

Meanwhile, Mark Hamill, who played the titular character Luke Skywalker, recently opened up about the lines in the original Star Wars that became iconic over time.

"My favorite from the space movies was, 'I have a very bad feeling about this." And they gave it to a character in every movie—somebody else said it!

Luje delivered the dialogue when the Millennium Falcon approached the Death Star.

But later, from Han Solo and Leia Organa to Obi-Wan Kenobi and C-3PO, everyone said the line with different variations.
