I have been waiting for a cinematic upgrade since the release of the last Star Wars movie, The Rise of Skywalker. Since then, COVID-19 and the writers’ strike have passed, and we still don’t have a new Star Wars movie.

With no news of any Star Wars movie soon, I started playing the Star Wars game to make up for it. The visuals and characters in the game are similar to the movie, and you can buy SWTOR credits and unlock new characters to enjoy the game to the fullest. Stuck with boredom, this was my only way to rejoice in my love for Star Wars. However, one fine afternoon, I was playing my Star Wars game religiously, and I got the news that the Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian, and Grogu’s release dates have been confirmed.

Luckily, The Mandalorian and Grogu will be hitting the theatres on May 22, 2026. Yes, the release date is confirmed by director and co-writer Jon Favreau himself. If you are an avid Star Wars follower like me, then you know that this was supposed to be a 4th season for Disney+. The Mandalorian & Grogu series, however, are coming in strong with a full-fledged film for the theatres.

Synopsis

I am excited for its theatrical release because it has been a long time since I have binge-watched the movie or gotten any news about the release date of the fourth season of the series. It has been three years since the last series was made, and it is high time that this film comes into action. 

Talking about action, of course, this film is packed with it. Combat scenes with Mandalorians and going on new missions are expected. I am sure we will see the unification of Mandalorian and Grogu strengthen after Grogu leaves with Luke for his Jedi Training. 

Now that they have united along with their emotional bond, we can also see their fights against the imperial remnants in the New Republic Era. I believe Grogu will now be actively participating in these missions, as he is now more confident in his powers following his training.  Rumours of Grogu having one-on-one fighting scenes underwater are already circulating on the internet. 

Filming for The Mandalorian and Grogu has already finished, so the release could be sooner, but then it would clash with the new Avatar movie. Also, I understand the need to take time before releasing the Mandalorian and Grogu because fans are waiting for it. So, the pressure for perfection is at an all-time high.

 I heard that it was coming to Disney+ first, but due to popular demand for the Star Wars movie on the big screen, it is now also coming to theaters. I love how the film is star-studded with actors like Pedro Pascal, who is currently ruling the screens. It also has ‘The Bear’ Fame Jeremy Allen. Additionally, it features other talented actors, including Sigourney Weaver and Steve Blum. 

If you want to see the last three seasons of The Mandalorian and Grogu, for a quick recap, you can watch them on Disney+. I never get tired of watching how the Mandalorian was supposed to capture and hand over Grogu, but turns out protecting him instead. 

The rest is history as over time they develop a bond, depart, and unite again to fight against the imperialists. I can’t wait to see it in the theatres to relive the epic bond of the Mandalorian and Grogu again.
