Reasons Why a Sequel to Squadrons Makes Perfect Sense Now

Star Wars: Squadrons dropped like a surprise birthday party you didn’t really want (but then you end up loving). It was all about that intense dogfight action, zooming through space like you’re auditioning for Top Gun: Outer Rim. Yet somehow, it didn’t stick around in everyone’s playlists. Weird, right? Maybe it just needed more…stuff. You know, those little extras that keep you hooked like a really good drama series.

So, there we were at the Star Wars Celebration, and bam! We’ve got announcements flying around like confetti at New Year’s. Mind you, I was pretty hyped about the animated Darth Maul—who wouldn’t be? But wait, the real kicker was hearing about Star Wars: Starfighter. It feels like the universe decided to throw Squadrons a lifeline. Or maybe I’m just dreaming aloud.

And yes, Ryan Gosling is set to take the lead. Let’s be honest, who would’ve thought? But he might just be what Starfighter needs to level up the intrigue dial. Plus, there’s Shawn Levy directing! Remember when he pulled off Deadpool & Wolverine? Nailed it! Now, just imagine what he can do with Star Wars pilots zipping around. Could be legendary.

Maybe this flick will open up galaxy-sized doors for Squadrons. I’m speculating here—just dreaming out loud again. But what if? I mean, sequels are a thing for a reason, right? They let you fix what wasn’t quite there the first go-round, like post-launch hiccups Squadrons had. What about Gosling’s character popping up in the game as DLC? Personally, I think it’s a win-win scenario.

Oh, twisty thought—have you ever played Squadrons and noticed the sounds of the blasters? Like, they were so crisp they felt almost edible—strange but true. Anyway, let’s loop back. New movies mean excitement, and tied-in games can ride that wave perfectly. Imagine a sequel being like a spin-off series that surprises you with its depth and connections. That’s what we need.

So, as the chatter of Starfighter heats up and the release date sneaks up (Memorial Day 2027, mark it), will Squadrons see a player resurgence? Maybe. Maybe not. But for now, it’s that charming little one-shot that’s just waiting for its chance to be more. Fingers crossed for a cosmic twist or two!
