Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu has finally received an official release date. The movie is set to hit the screens on May 22, 2026. It will be directed and probably written by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni.
The Mandalorian & Grogu holds a special place as the first film to bring Star Wars back to the big screen after a hiatus of 7 years since the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The movie will not only follow up the controversial Star Wars sequel trilogy, but will also take characters and stories that debuted on Disney+ and bring them to the movie theatre for the first time. The pressure is very high, but given the show’s track record, it’s likely to rise to the occasion.
