FULL STORY
======================================================================

 The Mandalorian , the hit Star Wars show that has wowed audiences since its 
March 2020 debut, is set to blast into theaters with a movie sequel. 

In a shock announcement made on StarWars.com today (January 9), it was 
confirmed the hugely popular Disney Plus series would get a big-screen outing 
sometime in the future. The film, which is titled The Mandalorian & Grogu , 
will enter full production later in 2024. The Mandalorian and Grogu are 
headed to the big screen.Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, 
Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into

In a statement posted alongside the unexpected reveal, Jon Favreau  the 
mastermind behind The Mandalorian  expressed his considerably joy at seeing 
Din Djarin, the titular character, and Grogu/Baby Yoda make the leap from the 
small-screen to multiplexes and independent theaters worldwide at an 
as-yet-unannounced date. 

"I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas 
created," said Favreau. "The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his 
apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting." 

"Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved 
characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen," 
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy added. 

 The Mandalorian & Grogu will be directed by Favreau, with the former Marvel 
actor executively producing the movie alongside Kennedy and Filoni, the 
latter of whom was installed as Lucasfilm's chief creative officer in 
November 2023. 

Unsurprisingly, no other details were announced about The Mandalorian & Grogu 
, but the StarWars.com article confirms it'll be the first of a batch of new 
Star Wars movies that are already in development at Lucasfilm. 

That contingent includes the previously announced High Republic era-set flick 
from Indiana Jones 5 and Logan director James Mangold, a post-Star Wars 
Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker offering from Ms Marvel 's Sharmeen 
Obaid-Chinoy that'll see Daisy Ridley reprise her role as Jedi Master Rey 
Skywalker, and the ensemble movie from Filon that'll bring characters from 
The Mandalorian , Star Wars: Ahsoka , and potentially Star Wars: Skeleton 
Crew together to battle Grand Admiral Thrawn and his Imperial Remnants. You
