Overview
- Industry insider Daniel Richtman reports that the long-planned Mandalorian-era crossover is being redeveloped as a limited series for Disney+, and Lucasfilm has not commented.
- The crossover had been positioned as a big-screen culmination of the post–Return of the Jedi shows, with Dave Filoni expected to direct after his promotion alongside Lynwen Brennan.
- The Mandalorian & Grogu remains headed for theaters, with its box-office results viewed as a key test for whether streaming-origin characters will anchor future films.
- The report extends a years-long pattern of announced projects being delayed, retooled, or dropped, including the internally vetoed Hunt for Ben Solo confirmed by Adam Driver in 2025.
- With several film plans unsettled, Star Wars: Starfighter (directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling) stands as the clearest theatrical commitment, as a Simon Kinberg–led trilogy continues in development.
