In a major announcement for Star Wars fans, Lucasfilm has revealed that The Mandalorian series will transition to the big screen with a new movie titled The Mandalorian & Grogu.
Officially confirmed by the official Star Wars website, this move aligns with Lucasfilm’s vision of expanding its feature-development slate, which includes several other exciting projects.
Jon Favreau, renowned for his pivotal role in shaping the series, will direct the film. He will be joined by Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni in producing the movie. “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 Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm’s ambitious slate of upcoming projects. This includes films directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and James Mangold, as well as additional series developments like the eagerly awaited season two of Ahsoka, currently under Dave Filoni’s guidance.
As fans eagerly await more details, the announcement has already generated immense excitement. With production set to commence later this year, The Mandalorian & Grogu is poised to be a pivotal addition to the Star Wars cinematic legacy, expanding the saga’s reach and continuing to captivate audiences worldwide.
