Summary
WhileThe Mandalorianfans wait for its fourth season, they’ll have to wait even longer for its upcoming film. However,The Mandalorian and Grogumovie’s reported working title may provide plot hints for theStar Warsmovie.
The Mandalorianhas become a pop culture hit, so it’s natural that creator Jon Favreau would direct a movie starring the leading duo. While a newRey-focusedStar Warsmovieunder the working title “New Jedi Order” reportedly starts production soon, Favreau’sThe Mandalorian and Groguwill lead the new slate, going into production this year. The Disney release calendar can change at any time, but as it stands, three StarWarsfilms are set for July 01, 2025, August 01, 2025, and June 06, 2025.
Working titles may attempt to hide the true nature of the set, but, as theCosmic Circusreports,The Mandalorian and Grogu’s “Thunder Alley” working title refers to an already existing term in theStar Warsuniverse, mentioned only inBefore the Storm, the first book inThe Black Fleet Crisistrilogy of the Legends novels. This series of stories emphasizes the New Republic’s military while diving into the political climate. TheStar Warsfandom Wiki details Thunder Alley as “a region of space along the New Republic borders that several fleets rotated to patrol,” with the Second Fleet patrolling it the longest and then being replaced with the First Fleet. This military aspect may explain whybounty hunter Din Djarinis called upon for his next adventure, and Thunder Alley may be the upcoming setting.
Of course, it’s not sure that the working title will even be related to the story and finished product, but diehard fans will connect the dots of the lore. TheStar Wars Legendsstoriesrefer to any de-canonizedStar Warsbooks, comics, or games released before Disney bought the franchise in 2012, with anything released after being labeled as “canon.” While some of the Legends-era plots have been incorporated into their modern storytelling, the possibility of a Legends story being told with The Mandalorian is exciting to some. If the story is entirely something else, it’s at least likely to have season four of the series lead into it in some fashion, which has unknown plot details because audiences last saw Din and Grogu get a happy ending.
Many fans have taken to the internet to share theirthoughts aboutThe Mandalorian and Grogumovie, with some hating the character-named title. Some are curious about Pascal showing up on set for more than only voice work when the character translates from the small screen to the big screen. The majority of fans are certainly hoping that the project isn’t just being done for the sake of popular characters but that there’s a good vision for their future in a story that can be self-contained. More news will undoubtedly begin to be uncovered as production months edge closer.
