I've been thinking a lot about the expansion of the Star Wars universe lately…

With the announcement of John Watts directing the new trilogy of Star Wars in the future, I went back to the news about all the movies, TV shows, and projects that are being prepared. I had almost forgotten that next year we'll have a new movie: Star Wars: Starfighter, starring Ryan Gosling.

Most people never expected to end up seeing Ryan Gosling inside a Star Wars movie, not that we're complaining. He just has a different profile; that's it. What I remember him for most is La La Land and Crazy, Stupid Love. Both are excellent movies, and especially La La Land showcased a different side of his talent that we hadn't seen until then. But Star Wars is a whole different story, with a very characteristic aesthetic to follow and a tone to stick to.

Although, when seeing what he did in Project Hail Mary and how he handled himself in the sci-fi genre, I don't think we have anything to be worried about, at least in terms of acting. What we always worry about is the writing and directing, especially since it's supposed to happen after The Rise of Skywalker, and we all know how we felt about that one. At least we're getting into new territory and a new and unexplored time period, which is both exciting and scary. We have no idea what happened after the fall of the First Order, and I'm personally terrified about them pulling another recycled plotline and having a new evil overlord ruling the entire galaxy. Please, people, they already defeated them twice. Go back to the Republic or something; the Empire cannot happen for a third time.

We won't know until the movie comes out, so for the time being, we trust that it'll be good. Or at least, if it's not good, we'll still have the joy of seeing Ryan Gosling on the big screen shooting lasers and fighting galactic battles. And for today, we have memes to keep us entertained all day!
