Hope it's a prequel!!!
God dammit

BTW, The Mandalorian & Grogu is a terrible title.

I'm sure it'll change before then, or they'll just tack on "A Star Wars Story" at the end like with Rogue One and Solo.

Not an improvement.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Agreed.  The Mandalorian & The Child would be cool, or maybe something wacky like The Adventures of Din and Grogu, but it feels weird that one is a title/descriptor and the other is a name.  But apparently most people still consider Din Djarin The Mandalorian even if there are lots of them now, and while I've never warmed to Grogu as a name, it is his name and it's better than "Baby Yoda" which some people still call him.

A prequel to....what? The Force Awakens? It sounds like it'll be a continuation of season three, but I could be wrong. I feel like we've gotten enough of Din's and Grogu's backstories in the show already, unless they want to sprinkle the film with more flashbacks to their respective histories.

It sounds like this film might be a set-up for whatever might happen in Filoni's film as a follow-up to Ahsoka, perhaps creating a new trilogy set between ROTJ and TFA, in the "Mando-verse" of characters.

I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Is this the Filoni film that was previously announced as a wrap up to the Mandoverse? Or is this essentially The Mandalorian Season 4 with Filoni's film to close it out later?

The search to find Grogu’s mom (and learn how she met Yoda).

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.

This is the Way.


Very exciting news!

-Marc.

Based on that bolded part, it sounds like TM&G is in addition to Filoni's film, but they'll both take place in the same time frame based on the shows they've done on Disney+.

Now I'm reading that season 4 is still happening and Favreau's Mando and Grodu movie will essentially be the season finale. That could be cool. Hopefully season 4 is more like the first two seasons.

Interesting.  I'm seeing the exact opposite.

The Mandalorian Season 4 Reportedly "Not A Given" After Movie Announcement

Another report has been circulating about The Mandalorian & Grogu acting as the finale for a 6-episode The Mandalorian season 4, though this also remains far from confirmed at this point.

I just saw that one too. Obviously just tons of speculation all around. It would be nice if they'd just make an announcement.

I think they're still trying to figure it out themselves.  The Screenrant article says it looks like they're gonna see how the feature film does and go from there, but that doesn't really make sense, either.  Or it least it doesn't really work for me.  I hate waiting two or three years between seasons.  If they wait to decide to make another season, then they develop it, shoot it, post-production it, and we get it like two years later.  So if the movie comes out even this year, it's 2026 or 2027 before we get another season of The Mandalorian.

I'm kind of annoyed by the prospect of a Mando and Grogu movie TBH. I don't really care for movies in general. Would rather have another season of the TV series if I had a choice.

Aw yeah!!!! Love Her....read up at one point as to what her arc looked like in other stories and what not and this looks like they took it that direction a little bit. Very cool. And there was a Bane sighting in there as well. Can't wait!

Very excited for this. I've been wanting to do a clone wars re-watch and this seems like a good excuse to start.

Yep definitely Cad Bane.

Looks good, though I hope it's more focused again like Season 1 was. Season 2 sort of meandered a bit.
