The more we talk about the success of The Mandalorian, the more we realize that there’s just not enough praise to be given to the show. From stunning visuals to amazingly written characters and a thrilling universe filled with possibilities, the last three seasons have made it abundantly clear that people just can’t seem to get enough of Din Djarin and Grogu going on adventures in and across The Outer Rim.
Thus, Disney and Lucasfilm have finally decided to bring the magic of the show to the big screen, which is why it was announced that Jon Favreau will be making a major film, titled The Mandalorian and Grogu, which will have a theatrical release in the future, but that’s not all. With the success of the first season of Ahsoka, the series is also being renewed for a second season.

Even more than the last theatrical releases in the main Star Wars timeline, some might argue that Pedro Pascal‘s performance as Din Djarin in the superhit Disney+ series The Mandalorian has been the major driving force behind the franchise’s success in recent years. Therefore, it’s only fitting that the characters receive the big-screen treatment that they deserve.

The series specially made an impact on the audience by bringing Rosario Dawson into the limelight as the greatest Jedi Knight in history on the live-action silver screen along with Hayden Christensen as the iconic Anakin Skywalker. Thus, with the tremendous reception that it has received, it would’ve been a no-brainer for the studios to greenlight Season 2. So far, the only thing that’s known about the next season is that it’ll be helmed by Dave Filoni and might continue the events from season 1.
