The Mandalorian & Grogu Journeys to the Big Screen!
The Mandalorian, accompanied by Grogu, is set for a cinematic journey. This new movie, directed by Jon Favreau and produced alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, is scheduled to begin production in 2024.
I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” said Favreau. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.
Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen – added Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
The rumors that Mando’s adventures will continue as a movie were relevant several months ago. Season 3 wrapped up with Moff Gideon seemingly defeated for good and Mando officially adopting Grogu, making him his little apprentice and his son, Din Grogu. They seemed to find peace, which means a completely new threat ought to emerge for Season 4 to happen.
With the historic SAG-AFTRA strike ending and reshuffling the upcoming schedules, ‘The Mandalorian’ season 4 was always supposed to be converted into a live-action movie. There’s always Pascal’s statement that he won’t return to ‘The Mandalorian’ physically due to his commitments on ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 and 2024’s new ‘Gladiator’ film. Instead, he’d only provide Mando’s voiceover.
Now, we all know that Lucasfilm and Disney already made plans and announcements about their schedule going into the future, and everyone thought that a Rey Skywalker-led film starring Daisy Ridley was next in line when it came to Star Wars theatrical films, now that the rumors turned out to be true– ‘The Mandalorian’ movie could come first.
Lucasfilm’s continuous lineup of feature films will be spearheaded by The Mandalorian & Grogu, with projects directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni. Additionally, Filoni is actively working on the development of Ahsoka Season 2, among other upcoming projects.
