Giancarlo Esposito on the future of the Mandoverse: ‘It’s all going to converge’

by

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who’s seen the saga unfold through the decades, I can confidently say that Giancarlo Esposito‘s prediction about the Mandoverse feels spot on. The way he compares it to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is quite insightful, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned from Kevin Feige, it’s that interconnected storytelling can lead to some truly epic results.

Giancarlo Esposito has been a key player since the debut of “The Mandalorian.” Despite having limited creative control regarding Din Djarin’s narrative, he shares speculations about future events much like everyone else does.

As reported by ComicBook.com, during a recent panel at Dragon Con 2024, the actor shared insights about the potential trajectory of the Star Wars “Mandoverse”. He expressed his vision for the franchise’s future, likening it to the intricate, interwoven narratives found in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Disney plans to combine all these characters into a fantastic film or series, according to Esposito. In his opinion, this is where things are heading… He believes that everything will eventually come together in one place or another.

The collection of intertwined Disney+ shows, often referred to as the “Mandoverse”, are set approximately during the timeframe of The Mandalorian. At present, these consist of The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka. Upcoming releases such as Skeleton Crew and the film titled The Mandalorian & Grogu will also be set within this “nested universe” of productions.

Discussions among Star Wars enthusiasts continue to focus on the series’ future, especially regarding its Disney+ shows. Many fans suspect that a film by Dave Filoni might mark the conclusion of the story Lucasfilm has been developing since 2019. However, Esposito suggests that there may be additional chapters yet to be revealed.

There are countless tales waiting to be shared within the Star Wars universe. The future of this franchise has often been unpredictable – some thought its story would conclude with “Return of the Jedi” in 1983, and again with “Revenge of the Sith” in 2005. Yet, against all expectations, Star Wars continues to thrive. Its ultimate form remains uncertain, but it’s clear that this beloved franchise is here for the long haul.
