Posted: Tuesday January 9, 2024 12:24pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

A new theatrical film based on the hit Disney+ show The Mandalorian is set to go into production this year.

The Mandalorian & Grogu movie will be directed by Jon Favreau, the creator of The Mandalorian, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, the President of Lucasfilm, and Dave Filoni. It will go into production this year and star The Mandalorian and Grogu.

The Mandalorian has been a hit show for the Disney+ streaming platform

"I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created," Favreau said. "The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting."

Kennedy added that "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."

The new film will lead Lucasfilm's ongoing feature-development slate including projects helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold and Filoni, among those in the works.

Filoni is also currently developing the second season of the popular Disney+ series, Ahsoka.

Ahsoka has been renewed for a second season

Dude, I'm not the one writing it, I'm just saying that is where it was all heading. As its clear they want to continue on with this Project Necromancer story line, Bad Batch I doubt is going to be the finish of it.

The question is will it actually be a standalone story, I'm not so sure. I'm interested to see what story they tell with the characters. But also curious to see how it will tie into everything else they've been doing with the "Mandoverse" and if it ties into the ST as that appeared to be where they were heading.

Hopefully we'll hear about a new date soon.

I think the story was pretty much done after season 2…you couldn’t beat that I’m curious if they can do a good standalone story? That’s what they’d need to pull off now

Why?

That means the Star Wars Obaid-Chinoy "Rey Skywalker" movie is bumped off the calendar.

Yeah…but it’s kinda been played out. We’ll see

Not likely given its Filoni's and Fav's baby.

Remember to subtract $22M from the cost when you declare the Grogu movie to be a flop!! https://deadline.com/2024/02/california-film-tax-credits-mandalorian-grogu-1235838145/
