The Mandalorian and Grogu Journeys to the Big Screen
Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into production in 2024.
www.starwars.comHere’s a concise update on The Mandalorian and Grogu timeline as of April 2026.
-
What’s currently known: Grogu’s timeline has stretched across multiple contexts—training with Luke Skywalker after their reunion in The Mandalorian Season 2, and subsequent events in The Book of Boba Fett and Season 3–4 of The Mandalorian. The general arc places Grogu between Jedi training with Luke and ongoing adventures with Din Djarin, with occasional flashbacks and in-universe time jumps implied by showrunners.[1][6]
-
Recent development: A major feature film, titled The Mandalorian & Grogu, has been publicly discussed as part of Lucasfilm’s theatrical slate, with releases and production plans sparking fan interest about where it would fit in the overall timeline between the end of the original trilogy era and the era of the sequel trilogy, as well as how it relates to the live-action series events.[6][8]
-
Timeline implications for fans: The franchise has signaled that the live-action series and any theatrical project will explore broader Star Wars history while continuing to thread Grogu and Din Djarin’s story, likely placing new adventures after the events of the Disney+ series and potentially bridging gaps toward or beyond the sequel era in some narratives.[8][6]
-
What to watch next: Expect official updates from Star Wars websites and Disney’s investor/press channels about release dates, creative teams, and how the film’s timeline interacts with ongoing series timelines. At the same time, there’s continued discussion in fan and trade press about Season 4’s development status and its placement relative to any film project.[3][4][6]
Illustration of possible timelines (simplified)
- Grogu with Luke → Grogu with Din Djarin (Season 2–3 arc) → potential film-era adventures bridging post-Return of the Jedi era toward the sequel era.
