"Starfighter, Shawn Levy's upcoming Star Wars movie, has pushed the franchise further than ever before. Ryan Gosling stars as a pilot who takes on a young ward, not unlike many other Star Wars stories, but it takes place after The Rise of Skywalker, which is the farthest the timeline has advanced. As the movie's cast rounds out, fans are speculating that it could bring in some forgotten faces, as it doesn't have any obvious ties to the series' broader narrative."
"In August, reported that Amy Adams joined the Starfighter cast. Fans have since theorized that she could be playing Mara Jade, Luke Skywalker's wife and mother to his son, Ben. The primary evidence is straightforward enough: Mara Jade is known for her red hair, and Amy Adams has red hair. But the fan-casting just got a boost from leaker John Rocha, who claims that, like Mara Jade, Adams' character will be Force-sensitive."
Starfighter is set after The Rise of Skywalker, advancing the Star Wars timeline farther than previous films. Ryan Gosling stars as a pilot who takes on a young ward, and the film lacks obvious ties to the broader series narrative, prompting speculation about returning or forgotten characters. Amy Adams reportedly joined the cast, and fans have theorized she could play Mara Jade, noted for red hair and a complex past. A leaker claims Adams' character will be Force-sensitive. Mara Jade originated in the Legends books as an Imperial assassin who later joined the New Jedi Order. The casting theory has notable flaws.
