Ryan Gosling reveals if Star Wars: Starfighter will have practical puppets
Ryan Gosling has confirmed that practical puppets will be used in Star Wars: Starfighter, offering a brief response when asked about the film’s production approach. When questioned directly about their inclusion, the actor replied, “Umm, yes I think I can say that.”
However, Gosling declined to go into further detail when asked about his experience working with puppets on set. “Now, you are going to get me into trouble. So I think I have already said too much,” he said, suggesting that additional information about the production remains under wraps.
The use of practical puppets has played a significant role in shaping the identity of the Star Wars franchise. From its earliest films, physical creations were used to bring key characters to life. Yoda, developed by Stuart Freeborn and performed by Frank Oz in The Empire Strikes Back, is among the most notable examples.
The scale of practical effects expanded further with Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi, which relied on a large animatronic setup. More recently, Grogu from The Mandalorian showcased the continued use of advanced puppetry techniques in modern productions.
Star Wars: Starfighter is slated for a theatrical release on May 28, 2027, and will be set after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The project is described as a standalone entry within the broader Star Wars universe.
Details about the storyline remain undisclosed, though Gosling is expected to play a mentor figure alongside Flynn Gray. The film’s cast also includes Mia Goth, Matt Smith, and Amy Adams. Additional information about the movie has yet to be shared by Lucasfilm.
