The Mandalorian is heading to the big screen for a new feature-length adventure.

Set after the fall of the Empire in Episode VI, the Star Wars series follows the travails of Mando, a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic. Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones) plays the eponymous bounty hunter, with the series cast also including Carl Weathers as Greef Karga and Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, not to mention Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze and Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett.

Now, after three seasons and two spin-off series – one following Boba Fett, the other following Ahsoka Tano – Lucasfilm is once again betting on The Mandalorian’s success by ordering one of the first films based on a Disney+ property.

The Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate, which includes films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2.

Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, the new chapter will go into production in 2024.

“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created. The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting,” said Favreau.

Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, added: “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.”
