Without a doubt, the project most loved by fans in terms of Star Wars refers to is the Disney+ series of The Mandalorian. And it is that this, for being practically the one that broke the ice in November 2019, has become one of the banners of the platform in streaming thanks, also, to the characters that he has left us, such as the enigmatic Mandalorian, the fearsome Moff Gideon and, of course, the charismatic (and financially profitable) Grogu.
Third season and Pedro Pascal
Last week the Star Wars Celebration was held, an event that commemorates the saga created by George Lucas. At that event, trailers for series such as Andor, Ahsoka and the return from Willow, which although it does not belong to the galactic saga is still a franchise of the Lucasfilm production company. As expected, There was a lot of talk about the third season of The Mandalorian and taking advantage of the occasion, a release date was offered for February 2023.
The entire cast of the series was present at that Star Wars Celebration, Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and a little Grogu animatronic. As a final climax, a first preview was shown, although it was exclusive to convention attendees. In that video we could see Mandalore, more of Grogu and what seems like a deadly rivalry between Din Djarin and Bo Katan.
In addition, and as a result of this new season, the actor Pedro Pascal –who gives life to the titular character of the series– was asked if he thinks that a movie of his character could be on the way. The actor of Latino descent stated that, although he has no idea if there is a project underway, he believes that it is about time and that it would be "something inevitable" at this point.
Will there be a The Mandalorian movie?
Let's analyze this possibility. From an economic point of view it would make a lot of sense since, until the premiere of the series of Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Mandalorian It was the most watched Disney+ original series, so a movie based on the character would be profitable almost instantly. In addition, it would help clean up the cinematographic image of the Star Wars from Disney, which has been damaged since the premiere of the latest trilogy, the sequels led by JJ Abrams and an inoperative Kathleen Kenedy.
Also, it's not unusual for a series finale to be made into a theatrical movie, as a (momentary) climax until future projects arrive. Although that tradition has now been lost, almost a decade ago some of the big series used to end up in theaters: Sex and the City, High School Musical 3 (from Disney Channel)…
Apart from that question, from Variety they asked Pedro Pascal about how many chapters he has signed to do, to which the interpreter responded with a forceful "I have no idea." Does that mean that he has signed a blank page for Disney and Lucasfilm to continue squeezing this warrior who has fans dazzled? We will see.
And you? Would you like to see a movie starring entirely by the cast of the series?
