There she sees Levi and some of his crew on what clearly appears to be a ship. We love star wars Ships, right? Unfortunately, Vanity galleryThe photo description does not explain who the ship is or what the ship is. (“Jacket from Brunello Cucinelli, jeans from Rag & Bone, personal watch from Rolex, hair products from Living Proof, grooming products from Bioeffect,” thanks so much for the relevant information.) But, of course, we want to speculate.

Since this is a carefully approved publicity photo from a carefully conducted early interview, there’s not much to take away from it. But Levi is standing inside the ship, at the top of the ramp that seems to lead outside. Around the corner is another ramp that leads to another area of ​​the ship. This means that this ship has at least two levels, teasing something that will likely be on a larger scale than we’re used to. This is not a “Starfighter”, nor is it the ship we saw in the first official image at the top of this article.

There are also nets on the ground, which one might think could be used for smuggling. But we don’t think so. Are you really going to set up your own secret smuggling compartments? Right at the entrance to the ship? Of course not. No, these appear to be just air vents. Is this space to store something?

Of course, we can only guess who this ship is. The easiest guess is Ryan Gosling’s character, as he is the focus of the film. But there is no evidence either way. All we know is that this is a ship from… star Wars: Starfighter, It’s important enough that Levi and his crew built a set of it.

We will certainly find out more in the coming months, and more information about the film will be revealed. It’s scheduled to be released on May 28, 2027. See any other details we’re missing? Let us know below.
