Lucasfilm just unveiled a new Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, directed by Ahsoka showrunner Dave Filoni.
Other films set in a galaxy far, far away currently in development include projects helmed by Logan’s James Mangold and Ms. Marvel’s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Mangold’s movie will explore the origins of the Jedi Order, whereas Obaid-Chinoy’s will chart the exploits of Daisy Ridley’s Rey post-Rise of Skywalker.
The Mandalorian & Grogu movie announced for cinemas
Either way, The Mandalorian & Grogu will continue the story started in Disney+ series The Mandalorian. Filoni is also one of that show’s executive producers and played a key role in developing it alongside creator Jon Favreau.

It’s currently unclear at this stage if The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal will reprise the Din Djarin role in The Mandalorian & Grogu. The Chilean-American actor – whose performanceis largely voice-only– isn’t mentioned in Lucasfilm’s announcement.
There’s likewise no word on when the Mandalorian & Grogu will arrive in cinemas. All we know for certain is that the production will “lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate,” suggesting it will arrive before Mangold or Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars flicks.
Lucasfilm’s announcement included another, Mandalorian-adjacent nugget of Star Wars information, too. Buried away at the bottom was confirmation that Filoni is currently working onAhsoka Season 2– the studio’s first official indication that a second batch of episodes is definitely happening.
