I really don't think that Mandalorian is suited to be a feature film. The strength of the series was it's ability to tell one off adventures and possibly flesh out the starwars Universe in the edges. Trapping it in a film narritive lessens what makes it special.

The dude bros in this comment section are just cringe. Star wars is a world wide fandom. World Wide people. Super excited for more adventures with the both of them

Ashoka S2 was confirmed in the press release. Still feels like Filoni is making his movie.

I always thought they needed to do something to expand the audience to prime people for Dave's movie. They either had to license out the Mandoverse shows to other services or make season 4 a movie. So we now know what route they're going to take and I'm ok with it.

I hope they bring back Jack Black and Lizzo to reprise their roles! 🤣 🤣

This is where, despite how places like Marvel feel, let the director make his movie, Favs directed the first MCU film which was amazing. He directed vfxs comedies like Elf and the underrated Zathura. His background goes back to the 90s writing Swingers. He made the best Disney remake The Jungle Book. I think with a great writer he will craft a story that is standalone, can tie into all the other stuff, but is a film first and foremost with its own story. I also think he has enough trust with Lucasfilm that is what he will do.

None of the other movies are quietly canceled. They were all named as part of the press release. They said the Mando movie is leading the new slate, with other movies by sharmeen obaid chinoy, James Mangold and Dave filoni following

Nobody cares. Why do we need a movie of this? Can’t they find a new story to tell for once instead of milking the same things over and over

I REALLY hope that The Mandalorian season 1 and 2's wonderful composer Ludwig Göransson will compose the The Mandalorian and Grogu movie's score!!!🤞🤞 I think there's a better chance of that happening as a movie rather than for another (4th) TV season of The Mandalorian (purely as he's in such demand as a film composer), and while Joseph Shirley did a relly nice job as composer of season 3, even while using season 1 and 2's musical themes extensively he simply isn't Ludwig Göransson (nor are any of us other composers).

Jon Favreau is going to crush it. I think this movie is going to be great if the writing is good. This is the way.

If they can go back to prequel characters, then I don't see why a Rey movie should be off the table. As for the Mando movie, I think this may be sign that they are ready to bring the Mando & Grogu saga to a close, and that this Mando movie is Mandoverse film they have been working on.

With all the backlash that the director for the Rey movie got, I wouldn't be surprised if she gets fired or if the movie is canceled all together. They've announced so many projects throughout the years, most of which have never seen the light of day, that no one can actually be certain that something is happening until we get an actual trailer for it

Grogu's journey should have ended after season 2 it was a perfect ending to his story. But he sells a lot of merchandise and it is Disney so no surprise

I they are planning to treat this as a 2 or 3-part saga of movies, I would love to get re-acquainted with Mando & Grogu, and also some of the side characters, with some new threat, while sewing the seeds for the larger, looming threat of the return of the Empire and Thrawn. Kind of like how the MCU did with Thanos, where he only ever appeared in Cameos until Infinity War. So that when we finally do get to the larger Mandoverse team-up, we are already set-up plot-wise, new audiences have been acquainted with these characters and we are now ready to get into an "Heir to the Empire" kind of situation, where we will need everyone's help to bring down this threat.

I'll go see it, opening day.

One of the complaints that was said about The Marvels was that the audience had been conditioned to view both Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau as television characters and not movie characters, so why see them in a movie theater when you can see them on Disney+? I believe doing this movie is the first step into leading towards the Mando-verse movie that will bring everybody together for the final fight against Thrawn.

About CGI what’s better cgi yoda or puppet yoda from episode 1 Also hope this movie is done well as what happens to season 4 I hope that I doesn’t feel rushed I feel there is part 1-3 movie and the final is the Mando verse movie like an avengers movie to conclude a phase so this is the final of phase 1 of mando verse

I'm glad it's Jon Favreau directing. Dave Filoni needs to stay away from any live-action movies. He works best in cartoons, just stay there.

This movie just sounds like such a bummer. Feels like the end result of Pedro Pascal’s star rising and wanting off of a sinking ship. I bet this is a compromise movie because he doesn’t even want to be liable to do voice over work for a full season of television. If this movie even comes out, and it most likely won’t, it’s either going to be a convoluted finale to a dwindling tv show, or an ostensibly stand alone movie that fails to fulfill any of the broader plot threads from this “Mandoverse.”

SW’s is a mess because there is only so much prequel stories we can tolerate. They need to do something with the Grogu character post Rise of Skywalker. Season 3 of Mando was just stuck in neutral most of the time and did not move the overall SW galaxy narrative forward.
