THE MANDALORIAN Movie Coming To Disney+ This Fall (But It's Not Quite What You've Been Waiting For)

A poster spotted at this past weekend's San Diego Comic-Con appears to confirm that The Mandalorian is getting a Disney+ movie this fall but, unfortunately, it won't be a live-action project. Check it out!

Short of Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy pulling the rug out from under his feet, Dave Filoni remains busy developing a new Star Wars movie that promises to bring together much of what we've seen on Disney+. 

Thus far, little to no details have been revealed about "The New Republic" project. What we do know is characters from The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and Skeleton Crew are all expected to be front and centre in a crossover event widely believed to be a loose adaptation of "Heir to the Empire."

However, if you've been hearing rumblings about a movie based specifically on The Mandalorian this weekend, then we have good and bad news for you. 

One is indeed expected to hit Disney+ this Fall, but it's going to be another LEGO Holiday Special. According to Bespin Bulletin, it's titled LEGO Star Wars: Mandoween and, in case it wasn't already obvious, it will be a Mando adventure set during the spooky season. 

This has not been officially announced by Disney and Lucasfilm, but a poster for the project was reportedly spotted at Comic-Con alongside one for LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red. That too was advertised for a Disney+ debut later in 2023. 

Lucasfilm, Disney, and LEGO have been collaborating on these yearly Specials since 2020. The first was the aptly titled LEGO Star Wars: Holiday Special, though it was later followed by LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales and LEGO Star Wars: Summer Vacation.

Based on when previous efforts were released, the site seems confident Mandoween will drop either on September 29 or October 6. 

So, it's not exactly The Mandalorian movie we were hoping for but beyond Filoni's planned crossover, we remain optimistic that Din Djarin and Grogu will take centre stage in their own blockbuster adventure somewhere down the line. 

Before we get to that, season 4 remains in development, though any work on that is bound to have been halted by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
