The Mandalorian and Grogu are embarking on a new adventure — to movie theaters.
Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into 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 Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate, including films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, among those in the works.
Lucasfilm on Wednesday teased “The story continues” for the Ahsoka live-action series, with a sketch from Filoni depicting the Jedi Ahsoka Tano and her apprentice Sabine Wren on the same gargantuan Mortis god statue that the first season finale revealed on the extra-galactic planet Peridea — upon which perched the Dark Jedi Lord Baylan Skoll, played by the now-sadly deceased actor Ray Stevenson.
