Ryan Gosling's Star Wars movie isn't even close to coming out yet, and there are already several spin-off books planned, including his character. Star Wars: Starfighter is Lucasfilm's next theatrical journey after The Mandalorian and Grogu brought the famous franchise back to the big screen (for the first time in seven years) earlier this year. But many fans left disappointed, while others weren't interested from the start and never made it out to a movie theater. Disney and Lucasfilm hope that all changes with director Shawn Levy's Starfighter, and part of its push into pop culture, could come from a set of spin-off books featuring Gosling's new hero.Those spin-offs are three children's books from Penguin Random House, all starring Kade Auberon, the name of Gosling's new Star Wars character. What's exciting about these short stories is that they are expected to hit shelves on April 20, 2027, more than a month before Star Wars: Starfighter kicks off Memorial Day Weekend on May 28. This makes the upcoming slate of books the first real look fans will get at Kade's adventure ahead of the movie. Read full article on The Direct.
