The Mandalorian and Grogu: A Star Wars Saga
Get ready for a big-screen adventure that will make the Force flow! Din Djarin and Grogu, better known as The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, are moving from Disney+ to the big screen! In just a few short years, "The Mandalorian" series totally captured everyone’s heart, with Pedro Pascal's rugged Mandalorian warrior and the adorably wise Grogu (aka "Baby Yoda" ) making everyone do that squealing-with-delight thing. Well, guess what? Lucasfilm is delivering those feel-good vibes in a "Mandalorian & Grogu" movie.
It's a massive deal since this is the first new "Star Wars" film in years. It's like, you're used to the Movie-going saga – then Disney+ gave us series – and now, the return to theaters! It all kinda reminds me of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," a controversial movie that started all those debates, then "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," the one everyone's still debating… It seems we just love debating those galactic wars! But we’re talking the next generation of "Star Wars" adventures now.
A New Mission and Familiar Friends: What to Expect in "Mandalorian & Grogu"
The ending of "The Mandalorian" Season 3 leaves Din Djarin as a real New Republic warrior. Remember? He gets his own home, a fresh new career path and helps save a whole bunch of Mandalore – all thanks to those super awesome, sometimes violent fights! Meanwhile, Grand Admiral Thrawn – that cunning, scheming imperial baddie, who was lost in the outer reaches of space for so long – is back! So, what does that mean for "Mandalorian & Grogu" and how does Grogu fit in? That's all shrouded in mystery for now, but we know these characters have a ton of action coming their way!
With "Mandalorian & Grogu" getting filmed, there's been a lot of behind-the-scenes chatter – we already know some familiar faces will be popping back up. Like Garazeb Orrelios, a.k.a. "Zeb" - remember him from those "Star Wars Rebels" series – will be appearing with Grogu and Din! There's even more good news! Remember the awesome ship from the Mandalorian series, the Razor Crest? That baby’s making its comeback in "Mandalorian & Grogu"!
A Galaxy Far, Far Away of Star Wars Talent
The "Mandalorian & Grogu" Movie, set to release on May 22, 2026, is actually filming right now. If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can probably watch some of the stuff on the big screen while the filming happens. Plus, "Mandalorian & Grogu" has an amazing crew working behind the scenes! And they’ve confirmed some of those key actors are returning too. If you’re ready for that “Star Wars” goodness – get ready for all this!
Let's go through some of those names that are confirmed. First, Pedro Pascal – he’s the heart of this whole universe - back as Din Djarin! And Steve Blum’s voice will be returning as Garazeb! That “Star Wars Rebels” vibe coming into the movie is awesome! Along with Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, the badass Mandalorian with her cool ship and those wicked lightsaber moves – she’s back to battle with the good guys. If "Mandalorian & Grogu" is set in the New Republic - then Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn, who is totally running that new evil empire is bound to show up. That’s enough to get your "Star Wars" soul ready!
What’s New for “The Mandalorian” Universe and its Fans
This is a huge year! While those Movies have been quiet, there's a whole new wave of "Star Wars" series coming, all thanks to those amazing "Star Wars" stories from the past!

What Are We Ready For With The Mandalorian Movie?
"Mandalorian & Grogu" is gonna make everyone go bonkers for “Star Wars”! It’s got everything we love – those epic space battles, a cool “good-vs.-bad-guy” scenario, those familiar "Star Wars” heroes, the possibility for a super-intense mission for Grogu, and a really wicked lightsaber fight.
