Overview
- Disney announced Friday that Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu will stream exclusively on Disney+ beginning Sept. 2.
- The film earned about $345 million worldwide, a total reported by multiple outlets as the lowest for any live-action Star Wars movie and well below typical franchise tentpoles.
- Lucasfilm made the film available for digital purchase on July 21 and scheduled 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray releases for Aug. 25, including collector editions and bonus featurettes.
- Lucasfilm and The LEGO Group confirmed a LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian animated special will also debut on Disney+ Sept. 2, with an exclusive D23 preview set for Aug. 15.
- Commentators say the quick home-window, bundled tie-ins, and the film’s use of material originally planned for Season 4 suggest Lucasfilm is leaning on streaming and merchandising to rebuild audience momentum and shape future Star Wars release choices.
