The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)
The Mandalorian and Grogu is a 2026 action movie directed by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, with a running time of 2h 12m. It stars Pedro Pascal, Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver.
The Empire has fallen, yet its warlords still hold scattered pockets of the galaxy. Din Djarin, the helmeted Mandalorian bounty hunter, and Grogu, his small green foundling, take a job for the fragile New Republic: recover Rotta the Hutt in exchange for a line on a target. Jon Favreau directs this first big-screen chapter of the Disney+ series, keeping the dusty, unhurried space-western feel, the Mandalorian's strict code, and the wordless bond between a gunslinger and the child he guards. Pedro Pascal returns under the beskar, with Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White voicing Rotta, in a story set right after the fall of the Galactic Empire.

A few thoughts on The Mandalorian and Grogu
For readers chasing more of the galaxy far, far away, the Jedi Academy books put a young misfit inside the Force-training rooms this film only glances at. Fans of the larger space-military canvas can turn to the Warhammer 40,000 Horus Heresy, where Horus Rising and Prospero Burns open a grander, grimmer war among the stars. Both share the pull between a warrior's code and the wreckage of a fallen order.
More Star Wars across the galaxy
The Mandalorian and Grogu brings Din Djarin's beskar and code to the big screen in the New Republic era. These reach back into the same galaxy: the fall of the Empire, its stubborn holdout warlords, and the smugglers, rebels, and Jedi hopefuls who fill the space between the films.
Space westerns about outlaws and hired guns
Under the beskar, Din Djarin is a gunslinger for hire working the dusty edge of the galaxy, and the film keeps that unhurried space-western feel. These ride the same trail: rag-tag crews, bounty jobs, and lawless frontier worlds where a hired gun takes the wrong contract and sticks with it.
Blockbuster sci-fi voyages to other worlds
The Mandalorian and Grogu chases a Hutt across star systems for the fragile New Republic. These are the wide-canvas space adventures beside it: crews jumping between planets, first contact and old grudges, and the big-screen scale of ships, aliens, and worlds you have never seen.
