The Mandalorian and Grogu's mysterious production status is frustrating

As a dedicated fan of Star Wars, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of “The Mandalorian & Grogu” (Mando for short). When the announcement came out six months ago, we all believed that this project would be the one that wouldn’t face any delays and would stick to its planned May 2026 release. However, as July has rolled around, we’ve been left in the dark about Mando’s progress.


Upon the unveiling of The Mandalorian featuring Grogu in January, fans were optimistic that this would be the Star Wars production to adhere strictly to its schedule, avoid any setbacks, and ultimately reach audiences by May 2026.

Six months after the initial announcement, there’s been no word from Lucasfilm regarding the current status of the project. Trusted reports indicated that filming was set to start this summer, specifically in June 2024. Yet, despite July being halfway through, we have yet to receive any confirmation that production has begun. Delays in filming are normal, but the absence of updates has left fans feeling uneasy and apprehensive. As per ScreenRant, even those involved in the Mandalorian stunts seem to be occupied with other projects, adding fuel to the speculation surrounding the project’s progression.

While Pedro Pascal, who portrays Din Djarin in “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett,” is preparing for the filming of Marvel’s “Fantastic Four,” where he takes on the role of Reed Richards, there have been rumors that he will also join the cast and crew for the production of “The Mandalorian & Grogu.” However, it remains unclear if the cameras have already started rolling on this eagerly awaited project.

The achievement of “The Mandalorian” and Grogu is vital for the franchise’s continuity. This latest chapter in Din and Grogu’s journey, following the conclusion of Season 3 over a year ago, has left fans puzzled by Lucasfilm’s silence. Previously, Jon Favreau confirmed that he had penned the script for Season 4. However, whispers emerged suggesting that the fourth season might be transformed into a movie. Though an official confirmation regarding Season 4 remains elusive, fans eagerly anticipate reassuring updates from Lucasfilm indicating all is on track. Some speculate that Lucasfilm’s current preoccupation is “The Acolyte.” With the finale of “The Acolyte” approaching, fans are preparing themselves for potential announcements regarding the movie project, hoping that the series’ conclusion will provide insights into its development progress.

Fans of “The Mandalorian” have been left in limbo by Lucasfilm’s ambiguous stance on a potential fourth season, causing unease and speculation about the upcoming movie, which is set to be the franchise’s first cinematic release since “The Rise of Skywalker.” The lack of clarity from Disney and Lucasfilm could potentially dampen the buzz and enthusiasm surrounding this highly successful series and its dedicated fan base. To prevent unwarranted hype and misinformation, transparency and honesty are crucial when addressing the project’s current status. It is essential for Lucasfilm to break their silence and deliver an uplifting update on the progress of these significant productions.

The Mandalorian & Grogu premieres in theaters on May 22, 2026.
