Everything We Know About The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie
The Mandalorian’s story will continue with a Star Wars movie. Here’s everything we know about the project, including cast, release, and timeline.
Footage shown at D23 and seen byScreen Rantunveils the first look atStar Wars’next movie, which notably includesthe return ofGarazeb “Zeb” OrreliosfromRebels, who’s seen working directly withDin Djarinhimself.Also returning is the belovedRazor Crestvessel, Din Djarin’s ship fromThe Mandalorianseasons 1 and 2 that was destroyed by Moff Gideon.

The Mandalorian & Grogu Is Already Fixing The Show’s Mistakes
A Focus On These Heroes & The Razor Crest’s Return Are Promising
Even this small amount of footage confirms something very promising aboutThe Mandalorian & Grogu:the biggest critiques fromThe Mandalorianseason 3 have been heard, and they’re being corrected. The early part of the footage flashing back to mentions of the “clan of two” and Din Djarin taking on Grogu as his apprentice seem to confirm that the movie is going to focus on the two of them primarily after season 3’s wide scope focused on Mandalore andBo-Katan Kryze. This seemed clear from the movie’s title, but this new footage makes that even more obvious.
It seems that The Mandalorian & Grogu is already making leaps and bounds to live up to its expectations as the franchise’s triumphant return to the movie theater.
The return of theRazor Crestalso casts aside any doubts about Din Djarin acting more like a bounty hunterthan a trueNew Republicranger. Many feared thatDin Djarin’s N-1 starfighterwould prevent him from fulfilling the role he gives himself inThe Mandalorianseason 3’s ending, but the return of his trustyCrestproves otherwise. While it obviously won’t be the same exact ship, seeing as the original one was obliterated and irreparable, it’s still a major step in the right direction forThe Mandalorian & Grogu.
Of course, perhaps most excitingly, is getting more Zeb Orrelios after his brief cameo inThe Mandalorianseason 3. Zeb is a beloved part ofRebels, and knowing he has a role in this movie - especially directly aside Din Djarin - is absolutely thrilling. Zeb will no doubt be an important part of this story, given his role within the New Republic as well as Din Djarin and Grogu’s own. It seems thatThe Mandalorian & Groguis already making leaps and bounds to live up to its expectations as the franchise’s triumphant return to the movie theater.
