Reports indicate that the total production cost for the film Star Wars: Starfighter is $226.5 million. The film was produced in the UK and received a $51.5 million tax credit, bringing the currently disclosed net cost to approximately $175 million.
These figures come from an analysis of Disney's UK financial documents and are not the final budget officially announced by Disney. Specifically, the $226.5 million represents the total production cost disclosed in the documents, while the $175 million is the current net amount after deducting the UK tax credit.
The report also states that Disney is applying for government subsidies and tax incentives in other countries for post-production work, including visual effects. Since these amounts have not yet appeared in public financial records, neither of the two figures currently disclosed can be directly considered the film's final complete budget.
Star Wars: Starfighter is directed by Shawn Levy and stars Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray. Set after the 2019 film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the story follows Kade, who has been declared an outlaw, as he goes into hiding with his Force-sensitive nephew and travels across the galaxy. The film's listed global release date is May 28, 2027.
