Spinoffs For THE MANDALORIAN Are In Play According To Disney CEO Bob Iger

In addition to watching the weekly adventures of Din Djarin, a few of his companions might soon be starring in their own television shows as Disney CEO Bob Iger says the future of Star Wars is TV.

When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4 billion USD, who would have thought that future galactic adventures of the Jedi and Sith would be relegated to television instead of film. But that's where the franchise finds itself after a schismatic sequel trilogy and prequel films have divided the Star Wars fandom.

"The priority in the next few years is television,” said Bob Iger in a recent quarterly earnings call with investors regarding the future of Star Wars. He would later go on to state that Disney and Lucasfilm are looking at "the possibility of infusing [The Mandalorian] with more characters and taking those characters in their own direction in terms of series."

Raise your hand if you want to see a spinoff show starring Emilly Swallow's The Armorer, Gina Carano's Cara Dune, Giancarlo Esposito's Moff Gideon, or Taika Waititi's IG-11? Then again, Iger's statement kind of implies that the series hasn't produced a character yet that's capable of leading his/her's own show (but it will).

The Mandalorian returns for a highly-anticipated sophomore season this October.


After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. “The Mandalorian” is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.

Maybe just relax, and take it one thing at a time. The Mandalorian was great because it brought Star Wars back to its roots (merging genres, homages, small budget, minimal sets) while doing something new. Don't ruin a good thing here, Disney.

They should definitely consider projects of different sizes... including some made-for-Disney+ movies. Not everything needs to be designed as open-ended series. I don’t need an ongoing series starring Carl Weathers and Gina Carrino, for instance, but I’m sure they could have them lead in a compelling one-off story.

Cut to the chase, Ashoka swoops in, saves Din and Child, gets her own live action show.

Yeah I mean come one the statement is obviously referring to introducing a character in The Mandalorian that they are giving a show, not that they are planning a series for Greef Karga.
