Lucasfilm has finally confirmed therelease date ofThe Mandalorian & Grogu, the nextStar Warsmovie.
But, staggeringly,it will have been seven years sinceStar Warshad a new release in theaters.
What’s gone wrong?
The Mandalorian’s story will continue with a Star Wars movie.
Here’s everything we know about the project, including cast, release, and timeline.
There were huge teething problems, but the first few movies were successes.
And then cameSolo: A Star Wars Story,Star Wars' first box office bomb.
It grossed just $393 million, even worse given expensive reshoots.
There’s a sense in whichSolo’s failure was inevitable.
Disney paid a price for such poor marketing.
This was where the problems began.
What to do next?
This was the big question, and there was no satisfying answer.
Meanwhile, Disney execs were pressuring Lucasfilm to focus on something else entirely.
The pandemic brought pretty much every industry in the world screeching to a halt - including studios.
This had a huge impact onStar Warsmovies and shows, and film release dates were pushed back like dominoes.
Either way, it’s an exciting prospect.
On May 22, 2026,Star Warswill finally be back in theaters - and it’s about time.
