The fans of The Mandalorian They are in luck. The series premiered its third season last 2023 and, almost a year later, there was no news about its renewal. Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and the rest of the executives assured that viewers would see more about Din Djarin and the little one Grogu. But the news of the fourth installment was not announced. In the end, the characters are going to live a new adventure, but it will not be a season 4. Star Wars has confirmed that it will be a film that will be released in theaters.
Lucasfilm has announced through social networks and its Web page That the movie The Mandalorian & Grogu It is already in development and will begin filming this year. The film will be directed by Jon Favreau, co-creator of the series. And the production itself will be involved. Favreau next to Dave Filoni (the other creator of the series and creative director of Lucasfilm) and Kathleen Kennedy (company president).
“I love telling stories set in the rich world he created George Lucas”, he thanked Favreau. “The perspective of bringing Command and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting,” adds the creative. According to the studio, The Mandalorian & Grogu will be the film with the highest priority among current projects Lucasfilm.
Along with it there are also the films directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy about Rey and the new Jedi Order; by James Mangold about the first Jedi of the distant galaxy; and by Dave Filoni about the end of Mandoverse. It is presumed that the recently announced film connects with the latter. “Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have presented in Star Wars two new and very beloved characters, and this new story fits perfectly on the big screen,” he expressed for his part Kathleen Kennedypresident of Lucasfilm.
What will it be about? The Mandalorian & Grogu
The end of the third season of The Mandalorian showed the final battle between the protagonists and the evil Moff Gideon. The fearsome imperial intended to control the destroyed planet of Mandalore. There, his objective was twofold. On the one hand, he rises as the new standard of the imperials thanks to his cloning plan. On the other hand, put an end once and for all to the threat that all the Mandalorian clans posed to him.
Fortunately, with the help of Bo-Katan and all the other natives of the planet, Din Djarin and Grogu They managed to defeat their eternal enemy. The question remains whether any of his Force-sensitive clones will have survived. And that could be one of the questions that The Mandalorian & Grogu must solve. Season 3 closed with father and son settled in Nevarro and living a placid life. But there are some issues to resolve.
The biggest one is how his story will connect to the final movie. Dave Filoni. In it, everything indicates that the Grand Admiral Thrawn will be the villain. AND Ahsoka (whose second season has also been confirmed), Sabine, Ezra and company will have to face it. An army that Command and Baby Yoda They will come together in one way or another. That could be the central axis around which the plot of the film revolves.
The other loose end points to the fate of the planet Mandalore once it has been liberated and its inhabitants have returned to rebuild it. In the series, the Mythosaur woke up in the depths, although it was not revealed what its influence would be in the future. Be that as it may, the creature is a mythological being for Mandalorian culture and will surely play a role in the future of the clans, Din Djarin and of Grogu.
Given these mysteries, everything suggests that The Mandalorian & Grogu will try to close those stories in the most rounded way possible. The film does not yet have a release date and, for now, Star Wars keeps its synopsis secret. What is evident is that its cast will be led once again by Peter Pascal.
