The Mandalorian and Grogu are embarking on a new adventure as they transition from the small screen to movie theaters. Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, this new chapter in the Mandalorian and Grogu’s journey will go into production in 2024.

It’s not quite known if the film is in lieu of a season 4. We know that Dave Filoni is planning a film that ties in the post-Return of the Jedi storytelling. Will this film be taking place before or after. The Disney+ season format allows for longer storytelling where films run around 2 hours, give or take. We’ll just have to wait and see how things develop.

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

Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, added, “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 Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate, which includes films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, among those in the works.

This news was first announced on www.starwars.com. This is the Way.
