Event Details

The Mandalorian and Grogu, announced as The Mandalorian & Grogu, is a Star Wars movie that started production in 2024. Directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, it takes place between the events of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Episode VII: The Force Awakens, focuses on the adventures of Din Djarin and Din Grogu, and will be a spinoff to the TV series Star Wars: The Mandalorian. The film was announced on January 9 that year on StarWars.com with a conceptual sketch by veteran illustrator Ryan Church, along with an announcement of a second season of the television series Star Wars: Ahsoka. A fourth season of The Mandalorian is also still in development.

On May 7, 2019, Disney revealed their future movie release schedule, including a set of three untitled new Star Wars films, one of which had a scheduled release date of December 20, 2024. The Star Wars Show also reported on the news on May 15. On July 23, 2020, after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film was delayed to December 19, 2025. After the start of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, Disney shifted their theatrical film release slate, with the film being pushed to its current release date of May 22, 2026. A film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy occupied this release slot until The Mandalorian & Grogu was announced.

Star Wars Insider 224 revealed the initial film logo was the same as the one for The Mandalorian Season Three. In August 2024, during D23 2024, it was revealed that the film had entered production, and a new logo was revealed, in addition to a teaser that was shown to the audience. In August 2024, Sigourney Weaver revealed that she had joined the cast of The Mandalorian & Grogu.

Alongside the release of the movie, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run will be updated to include a new mission featuring Djarin, Grogu, Tatooine, Endor and Cloud City, which takes place off camera from the film.

UPDATE: D23 Expo revealed that The Bad Batch will be back 4th January 2023, not 28th September 2022 as ABC / Disney brand On The Red Carpet had previously posted. Whether that was a miscommunication, or a late change is unknown, but whatever the reason, season 2 will be with us during the first week of 2023.

Great news to see the return date of Clone Force 99 confirmed via ABC / Disney entertainment brand On The Red Carpet as the premiere date of season 2 of The Bad Batch looks set to be 28th September, meaning that for the next couple of months at least we’ll be treated to two Star Wars adventures each day with both The Bad Batch and Star Wars: Andor hitting our screens every Wednesday.

Stay tuned as every Wednesday we’ll be discussing the latest episode of Andor on Making Tracks: Reaction Chats and on Tuesdays looking at the animated adventures of The Bad Batch on our weekly studio episodes of Making Tracks.
