"In a new interview with The New York Times, Levy talked about the pressure he's under making a new Star Wars movie starring Ryan Gosling, as well as the excitement of getting to work on the sci-fi mega-franchise. He also told the newspaper that various big names have visited the Starfighter set, including Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise. The most surprising bit? Cruise actually ended up filming a bit of the movie after Levy made a joke about the mayor of Hollywood grabbing a camera."
"As Levy tells it, Cruise arrived on set in November and after getting welcomed by the cast with the Mission Impossible theme song, started watching as Levy set up a lightsaber duel in a muddy lake. Levy joked to Cruise to get in and help with the cameras, and apparently, the superstar takes everything at face value. So he reportedly grabbed a camera and hopped into the water, ruining his shoes in the process, in order to get the perfect shot."
"It's wild, for sure, but the more interesting information is Levy confirming a lightsaber duel in Starfighter. Many had wondered if the Jedi would appear in this film, which is set a few years after Rise of Skywalker. And while a lightsaber duel doesn't confirm Jedi are involved, it does make it seem far more likely that some Force-wielding folk will be showing up in Starfighter."
Shawn Levy directs Starfighter, a Star Wars feature scheduled for 2027 and starring Ryan Gosling. High-profile visitors including Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise visited the Starfighter set during production. Tom Cruise reportedly grabbed a camera and filmed part of a lightsaber-duel setup in a muddy lake, ruining his shoes in the process. The production included a lightsaber duel, placing Force-wielding characters among the likely elements of the story. The film is set a few years after Rise of Skywalker, which has generated fan speculation about connections to future chapter-style entries in the saga.
