Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movie could be about to get some serious star power, with Ryan Gosling reportedly in talks to star in the film. Cameras could roll as soon as this fall. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gosling’s interest in doing a Star Wars movie has pushed the project to the front of the director’s schedule. The negotiations started late in the game and are supposedly the reason why Levy is now prioritizing Star Wars over another project in development, a boyband movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for Paramount. Ryan Gosling’s interest in doing a Star Wars movie must not only have excited Shawn Levy, to the point that he is benching a reunion with his Deadpool & Wolverine stars — but also Lucasfilm. Not only would this jump ahead of schedule to become Levy’s ...

This week’s Star Wars Character Spotlight shines on Iden Versio, an Imperial special forces commando who commanded Inferno Squad during the reign of the Empire, before eventually defecting to the New Republic. Performed by actress Janina Gavankar, Versio was created especially for the 2017 video game Battlefront II’s story campaign, though she has appeared in other mediums since then.  Serving the Empire  Iden Versio was a firm believer in the Empire, as the daughter of ISB Admiral Garrick Versio and an Imperial propaganda designer.

Christmas has come early in the form of a surprise new Star Wars book announcement. According to an updated listing from Penguin Random House UK, the Bad Batch will be getting their own novel titled Star Wars: Sanctuary. Authored by Lamar Giles (From a Certain Point of View), the book will be released on August 5, 2025. What makes this particular listing interesting is that it appears to be the only such one, at the time of writing, that has been updated past its codename placeholder of “Tanner” or “Untitled Star Wars August Novel.” Therefore, while this is an official listing, we recommend keeping expectations relatively in check until more is revealed. Typically, once these listings appear online, an announcement is imminent so expect it by the end of the year or in early January. In ...
