“Star Wars” ain’t just for Americans … people all over the world love the hit series — including people in Japan who got to enjoy a star-studded celebration of the franchise!

The Lucasfilm team headed to Tokyo to announce details about its next standalone movie in the franchise Friday at the Makuhari Messe convention center … bringing out the star of the flick, Ryan Gosling, to talk about the new project.

The pull of The Force brought more than just current stars to the event, BTW … ’cause Anakin Skywalker himself, Hayden Christensen, also delighted fans with his presence.

Among the other bold-face names in attendance … Jon Favreau, Pedro Pascal, Ahmed Best, Dave Filoni and a whole lot more “Star Wars”-obsessed celebs.

The crowd got to hear all about “Star Wars: Starfighter” — the Ryan Gosling-led “Star Wars” flick set a few years after the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

“Deadpool & Wolverine” director Shawn Levy is helming this film, and announced an expected 2027 release … though he made it clear he’s keeping tight-lipped about other details.

This is all part of a longer convention that will run through the weekend … bringing out thousands of visitors in Japan and around the world to browse merchandise, hear about new projects, and cosplay to their hearts’ content.

May The Force be with you … and, with all the fans in Japan this weekend!
