I stumbled on some cool concept art that led me to this story.
In short, Gary Whitta, Rogue One writer is attempting to get a Sequel/Reboot to the cult classic into production.
Maybe not the Last Starfighter
I membeh The Last Starfighter.
Membeh?
Yeh, I membeh!
Membeh Grigg?
Yeh, I membeh! Membeh Gunstars?
Oh, yehhhhhh....i membeh!
How about the Star League? Membeh?
Yeh, I membeh!
Membeh CGI?
Oh yeh....heheheeee....i membeh!
Oooh....how 'bout Xur ? Membeh?
Yeh...an' the Kodan Armada! Membeh?
Heck yeh, I membeh!
Membeh X-wings?
Eh....wrong movie...membeh?
Oh yeh, I membeh...
Could be cool. Was never really enamored with it though, may require a modern day watch for me. It has been a while....loooooooong while.
In some ways, (partially visual, partially an ability to take the story seriously) the original doesn't exactly hold up today... but it's still fun to watch.
I've been longing for more last Starfighter for ages- even made gunstar minis for Armada!
I would love a second Starfighter movie. I never understood why there wasn't a sequel a couple of years after the original came out.

I think it did okeeday at the box office. Perhaps not great, but perhaps good enough to have warranted a sequel.
What I would like to see is a modern video game based on The Last Starfighter.
There was a video game back in the 80's with The Last Starfighter in its title, but all it was was a redress of Atari's "Star Raiders II" I believe. (Or, I have my facts reversed, and Star Raiders II was a redress of The Last Starfighter...gahhhhh!) I used to have it on the old and obscure Atari XL computer/video game console hybrid. My favorite game on the Atari XL was "Rescue On Fractalis" (which I believe was a Lucasarts game.)
I dunno instead of a sequel to a movie that capitalized on the interest generated by star wars, in an era where it will be seen with the same intensions as it's predecessor. Could I not get a new concept sci-fi? Not to say it would not be welcome (if it's good), but rather ia desire for the new.
Seriouslyif your looking for extremely good sci-fi books pick up John Scalzi. He writes with the Ohio version of Douglas Adams wit, with an eye for detail and story that makes me, a dislexic, READ them with zealot like furvor. I cannot say enough good things about him.
