   Geez, that's one of the last things Star Wars needs. The Star Wars   
   franchise has built itself using mostly near-unknown actors. We do not   
   need some big-headed, relatively big-name, idiot 'star' screwing up the   
   franchise even further. Money-grubbing Disney simply proving yet again   
   that they have no understanding of "Star Wars".  :-(   
      
      
       Ryan Gosling to Star in Shawn Levy's Star Wars Movie   
       ----------------------------------------------------   
       In a surprising bit of news, THR is reporting that Ryan Gosling   
       is in talks to star in the upcoming Star Wars movie that Shawn   
       Levy will direct.   
      
      
       What do we know about Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie?   
       The report notes that Gosling is in negotiations to travel to a   
       galaxy far, far away, and take a lead role in the upcoming   
       movie. Details on pretty much anything regarding the movie are   
       unknown as of now, and it's unknown when the project takes   
       place in Star Wars' expansive timeline.   
      
       While little is known, THR's report notes that the film is   
       intended to be a standalone project, and will not be connected   
       to the "Skywalker Saga," the nine films that comprise most of   
       the theatrical Star Wars projects. This means Gosling likely   
       won't interact with any of the Skywalkers, leaving most of the   
       movie in a mysterious grey area as of now.   
      
       The Hollywood Reporter also noted that, should Gosling sign   
       onto the project in an official capacity, it'll likely be the   
       next Star Wars movie Disney sets its focus on, with production   
       possibly happening as early as this fall.   
      
       As of now, the only other Star Wars movie officially set to   
       release sometime soon is the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu,   
       which is slated to premiere on May 22, 2026.   
      
       Gosling has always been a star, but he became even more of an   
       in-demand name following his critically acclaimed performance in   
       2023's Barbie. Since then, Gosling has starred in the 2024 action   
       film The Fall Guy, and has been rumored to be appearing in a   
       variety of other, unconfirmed projects.   
      
       Shawn Levy's latest project was the massively successful Deadpool   
       & Wolverine, which was the second-highest-grossing film of 2024   
       after earning $1.3 billion.
