This marks a significant milestone as it is slated to be the first Star Wars movie to enter production since the release of ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ in 2019. Despite earlier speculations about a Daisy Ridley-led project taking the lead, it seems the journey to hyperspace will begin with ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu.’
Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, Favreau shared he enjoys telling stories created by George Lucas. He is extremely excited to bring the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the 70MM.

‘The Mandalorian’ series, launched in November 2019, gained immense popularity, with Baby Yoda (Grogu) becoming a cultural phenomenon. Pedro Pascal leads the series as Din Djarin, The Mandalorian, who initially reluctantly cares for Grogu. The third season of the show premiered last year, spawning various spin-offs such as ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ and ‘Ahsoka,’ with the latter already confirmed for a second season.
While Lucasfilm has not provided a specific release date for the movie, an untitled Star Wars feature is scheduled for December 19, 2025.
This announcement represents a potential turning point for Lucasfilm, which has faced challenges in defining the future of ‘Star Wars’ on the big screen. The studio has grappled with multiple projects that never materialized. However, with last year’s unveiling of plans at Star Wars Celebration in London, including Ridley’s project and a film directed by Filoni, it seems the galaxy far, far away is set for a cinematic revival.
