Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) is directed by Jon Favreau, who co-wrote the screenplay with Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor, continuing the hit Disney+ series with Pedro Pascal returning as Din Djarin. Set after the Empire's fall, Mando and Grogu are hired by the New Republic to rescue Rotta the Hutt (played by Jeremy Allen White)—Jabba's son—from a gladiatorial moon in exchange for intel on a mysterious warlord. The mission grows complicated when Rotta refuses rescue, forcing the pair to team up with him and ultimately reveal that the local crime-lord Janu is secretly the target, Commander Coin. Announced in January 2024 after production on a fourth season was shelved, the film premiered on May 14, 2026 at the TCL Chinese Theatre before its wide release on May 22, 2026. Despite grossing $345.7 million—making it the lowest-grossing live-action Star Wars film—it earned mixed reviews, with critics praising the action and Ludwig Göransson's score while critiquing the plot and visual effects.
